The title says it all. Why would anyone want to buy a Vista laptop or desktop now with Windows 7 about two months away? I know that the OEMs will allow free upgrades to W7, but unless one had an urgent need to replace a crashed machine, wouldn't it make far more sense to wait until October for a Windows 7 machine?

And similarly, on the subject of netbooks, buying an XP operating system puts you two OSs behind W7. Again, unless you have some urgency, wouldn't it be better to wait for the W7 netbooks?
