Vista "free" upgrade is not free

| Pardon me for pointing out the obvious here but when

| erm free and the common every day usage of the term
| which means at no cost.

| And of course, for a significant proportion of users whob
| y a computer between now and March, an upgrade from
| Windows XP to an equivalent version of Vista will
| certainly not be free. Windows XP Home buyers will
| have to pay 50% of the boxed upgrade price for the
| equivalent Vista Home Basic version.
