If you are planning on purchasing any computers this summer and haven't heard, Microsoft will be releasing Windows 7 on October 22. If you are interested in downloading a release candidate, you can do so here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default.aspx. This site gives an introduction and videos on the features of Windows 7.
From what I've read, the early reviews seem to favor Windows 7 over Vista.
Dell is offering a Windows 7 Upgrade Kit if you purchase a computer sometime this summer. However, if you order a kit, it will not be released until Oct. 22 at the earliest. I can't find a date to purchase by so if you are going to order a kit, please check with the vendor. The upgrade kit may be free to some so be sure to ask about prices beforehand - sometimes educational institutions like schools and libraries can get heavily discounted products. Dell's information on the upgrade is here: http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2009/06/03/dell-windows-7-upgrade-program.aspx .
I also found a Wikipedia article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7 - although I do not endorse anything from Wikipedia. I was surprised that even Wikipedia is listing Microsoft products.
