I better get a discount. I just "upgraded" to Vista 3 months ago.

7 months before the release date of 7. I dont think you'll get any discounts.

That's messed up considering I don't want to have to fork over $240 every 3 years, or even $120 for that matter (OEM version).

I havent been keeping up to date. From someone who has used 7 (or if you could link me to impressions from someone who has used 7), is it better than Vista? Or has Microsoft spawned another fail OS?

No, win7 is what vista shoulda been.

Check out http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/win7_rc.asp... a guide of win7 (with photos). There is ton more information at http://www.winsupersite.com/win7. I thought Vista was great when it came out, it was an big improvement over XP but got bad rep. But I've been using win 7 it as my main OS since RC1 came out, it is awesome.

According to "leaked" reports. Upgrade will be $99 for professioal. New versions will be $249 for professional. I guess they want people to upgrade :). Very resonable pricing though.

EDIT: Apparently the $99 may be presale price for upgrades purchased between June 26 and July 11th.
