With Win 7 GA date set, when's the best time to buy a new PC?
Microsoft has confirmed the general availability date for Windows 7 - Oct 22.
Additionally, the RTM code will be delivered to partners at the end of July.
Now, this presents anyone thinking about buying a new PC with a dilemma. Do they buy a PC now and skip 7 until they buy another? Buy a PC now and upgrade it when 7 is released? Wait until the tech guarantee is on offer, buy a PC with Vista on it and upgrade when the OEM delivers the upgrade? Or do they just wait for a PC with 7 pre-loaded on it?
What would you do?
