The general availability status basically means consumers will be able to purchase the software independently or bundled with a new computer. And it looks like OEMs are all set to go as well – Acer has already revealed its all-in-one Z5600 PC, built specifically around Windows 7 features, will be available just one day after the confirmed release date, on October 23. The company also said that any Vista-based models purchased in the 30 days prior to this date will be eligible for Microsoft’s free upgrade program.

I am going to go a bit off topic. For the final release of the OS I would like to see net video integration in Media Center. Hulu would be a great partner in this venture. It would give some out of the box appeal, and usability to the program.

win7 starter (for netbooks)
win7 home basic (for emerging markets only)
win7 home premium (media center?)

every higher version includes all features of the lower ones
also there will be vista + upgrade ticket to win7 available probably, starting from next month or so..
vista home premium -> win7 home premium
vista business -> win7 professional
vista ultimate -> win7 ultimate
Those vistas will cost about $8 more than the regular ones without upgrade possibility. Those $8 included in price is for transportation of win7 upgrade media once available.
