The PC Buying race is on after Microsoft just dropped the flag.  Microsoft announced yesterday that it will offer free Vista operating system upgrades or discounts on Vista in relation to new PC purchases.

Every few years when Microsoft rolls out a new OS it will eventually offer an incentive for buyers to pick up a new PC that is still loaded with the old OS.  This clears out the distribution and retail channell to make way for the new PC’s to be loaded with the new OS. 

It also removes doubt from holiday buyers that are on the fence and don’t need another excuse to pick up a PC.

It doesn’t however assure customers that the new PC they pick up will be optimal for use with Vista, so make sure you check the minimum hardware requirements for Vista before you buy!

If you don’t want to wait for Vista, you can try it through the Microsoft Customer Review Program.
