SEATTLE (AP) - People who buy certain computers this holiday season will be offered coupons for free or heavily discounted upgrades to Microsoft Corp.

What was the difference between the Vista free crap edition and the vista arm&leg edition again? Oh thats right, the arm&leg edition gives you eye candy and actually lets you access your files.

I am also seeing Vista upgrade coupons being offered alongwith XP on newegg. How does this work?

I pay an arm now and a leg later? Or is it a free upgrade? Most important what media will be offered? A full installation set or an upgrade set?

:?
