The tech biggie Microsoft has announced the Windows Upgrade Option Program (WUOP) for its upcoming Windows 7 OS. According to Microsoft, WUOP, available from June 26, 2009, enables the consumers who buy a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate, from a participating OEM or channel partner, to receive an upgrade to Windows 7, at no additional cost.
The WUOP is available to Indian consumers and businesses with less than 25 PCs, through participating OEMs like Acer, Dell, HCL, HP, Lenovo, Sony, Toshiba and Wipro, as well as channel partners for assembled PCs. Says S Rajendran, CMO, Acer India, "The WUOP program encourages customers to not defer their PC purchase plans in expectations of getting Windows 7. Anyone who buys our product with Vista Premium or Vista Professional edition will be eligible for an upgrade to equivalent Windows 7 versions, at no additional cost but for some handling fee for the media.” Windows 7 will be available worldwide through all PC vendors from October 22, 2009, in six SKUs with Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional being the two primary editions.
