Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversThe clock is ticking. Microsoft is getting its partners prepped for the Windows 7 Upgrade program, expected to be launched officially by June 26.
(Note: Microsoft hasn’t confirmed the June 26 date, but a Best Buy memo leaked that date as when the wraps will be taken off Microsoft’s Vista-to-Windows 7 upgrade program, which is designed to maintain Vista sales until Windows 7 is available. I asked Microsoft officials if they’d confirm the validity of some new partner information it allegedly posted to its Web site this week, but so far have received no word back. Update: The official word, via a spokesperson, is “We can’t confirm this specific information or WUO (Windows Upgrade Option) program timing just yet.”)
The partner “SKU order period” for the free upgrade coupons is listed as running from June 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, according to the new note. Beyond that, there are not a whole lot of details in the partner note that haven’t been made public already, primarily thanks to the sleuths at the TechARP site, who’ve been posting regular updates on it for the past few months.
Here’s the new note posted to the Microsoft Partner site shared by a source of mine. Just a reminder: This is Microsoft’s information for OEM/retail partners, not consumers
