Under the terms of Microsoft's discount pre-order program, users can buy an upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional at roughly half the list price, but the Ultimate version is offered at the full $219 price."

InfoWorld provides a performance monitoring tool, called Sentinel, that reports in with data about a system's configuration and operation, allowing the community to analyze the data and detect trends. The InfoWorld staff combed the data for hardware that's new enough to have shipped after Vista had been preinstalled, and found that 35 percent of it was actually running XP."

No Vista for Daimler or GM, to add on to Intel. Obviously this is a big opportunity for those who want to encourage adoption of non-Windows operating systems like Linux and OS X. Does Open Solaris have a shot here as well? Are people switching from Windows to Solaris on the desktop?
