Incentives
I don't think Microsoft has to offer any great
incentives. If they want people to move to Windows
7, they just need to sell it for a reasonable
price. No more then ?100 for Home Premium, and it
will be worth the upgrade. Im all for windows 7,
but im not goning to upgrade if it means selling
the house (Hopefully it wont come to that!).
