Seattle PC builder beats Microsoft with free Windows 7 upgrade offer

Launches free Vista-to-Windows 7 upgrade program to tempt hesitant buyers

Gregg Keizer February 27, 2009 (Computerworld) A Seattle-area PC seller will offer free Windows 7 upgrades to customers who buy new Vista-powered machines starting next week, beating Microsoft Corp. and its biggest hardware partners to the punch by months.

Puget Sound Systems Inc., an Auburn, Wash.-based system builder that sells PCs nationally, will launch its own Windows 7 upgrade program next week, said Jon Bach, the company's president, today.

"This is completely independent of any Microsoft [upgrade] program for Windows 7," said Bach.

Beginning next week, Puget customers who purchase PCs that cost at least $1,000 and are equipped with the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista Ultimate will be eligible for a free upgrade later this year to the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate. During a Friday interview, however, Bach said Puget would consider also offering upgrades from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium.
