I'd take the suggested date of June 26th as a "maybe" until there's an
official policy and things are out in the open.  Once it's official, there's
usually a form you'd get with the PC you buy that entitles you to the new OS
on its release.  Microsoft and the major suppliers have announced "free
upgrade" transition periods going back to the switch from NT4 to Windows2000
about 10 years ago (if not longer).   I've known several people who've
benefitted and not had any hassles.

Does anyone have a high confidence in the date when vendors/Microsoft 
will honor a free update to Windows 7 if you buy a Vista computer in the 
near term?
