So when does the free upgrade to Win7 start?

If you were holding off on buying a new computer, it looks like July 1st may be the date to start buying as that's when the free upgrade offers may start.

The bad news is that if you are in the EU and get a "separate IE" bundle you may need to clean install.

I overheard my boss saying that an ACER we just got in for a client had a free upgrade to Windows 7... are you sure it's not available yet? We're in Australia but normally we're behind with these things, not ahead!
