Windows Vista users won't have to pay much to upgrade to Windows 7, which is slated to ship October 22.
Upgrades to Windows 7 Home Premium, which includes improvements to Vista's sluggish-yet-pretty Aero interface as well as multitouch features, will set Vista users back just $49.99, according a leaked Best Buy memo posted by Engadget. Updates to Windows 7 Professional, targeted at business users, will cost $99.99.
The Best Buy "presell" deal will start June 26 and run 16 days through July 11. Other retailers will offer the promotional pricing as well, the memo states. It's unclear, however, whether the upgrade prices will continue beyond the promo period.
