It's not clear. I'll just say that pre-release Fall may not be the best time to buy a new OEM PC if you're planning on using Windows 7 and don't want to have to pay again for it.

Until I heard the details on the free upgrade, I would assume nothing.

Funny thing is, Win 7 release may coincide with the release of OSX 10.6.

If some of the rumors of the next cycle MacBook Pros turn out to be true like mobile Core i7 (possible) or OLED displays (seems highly unlikely even with the LG contract to supply OLED panels to Apple recently signed), it will be a tough call for me to decide whether to go with another Apple laptop or something else running Windows 7.
