Yustr as a tech to tech you would be correct people would wait but as an average buyer, well they don't even know there is a Windows 7 coming out. This is fact. I talk with average HP users 8 hours a day 5 days a week.

And ofcourse it is to help keep buyers buying, that is just business sense. I am sure other pc venders are doing the same.

About the upgrade: When Vista was released HP offered the same upgrade from XP to Vista before Vista was released. Vista is not an XP version.

As for the upgrade itself, Windows 7 is very similar to Vista and most Vista drivers will work on windows 7. I imagine programs will work properly too if they worked on Vista. Full versions are always the best option but very very expensive compared to upgrade cds.
