Cool.

Windows 7.0.1 to be released on October 25th, to correct the 327 bugs and 54 security loopholes they find in five days.

Better an OS where the issues are openly discussed, than an OS that out and out lies to you and claims there are no virii nor security vulnerabilities.

So any word on if you can update Vista to 7 or am I going to have to buy an entirely different program?

NOTE: I am NOT suggesting that I will buy it soon.

You will be able to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. From what i've read you will NOT be able to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7.

How much do these upgrades usually cost? I'm looking to buy a new PC now and while I would like to get Windows 7, I really don't want to wait until the end of October.

Get the release candidate for free now. Use Vista drivers for any devices. You'll be able to use the RC until June of next year.

So the RC is stable enough for this?

If you look at it with your EYES, you will see that his statement is accurate. Apple is grossly overpriced. I know, I own two of them + an iPhone.

We're talking about software. Apple releases a new version every year for around $100. Microsoft releases a version every 2-4 years for $150+ (at least).

So, it depends on how you look at it.
