Time to sell Dell. They really are going out of their way to ensure a bad Q. From today's WSJ(and probably every other newspaper): The coupon program begins Thursday and runs through mid-March. Particulars of each deal will vary depending on the computer maker and retailer. Among the plans by larger computer manufacturers: • Hewlett-Packard Co. said people who buy certain H-P Pavilion, Compaq Presario and H-P Digital Entertainment Center computers equipped with Windows XP, Microsoft's current version, can upgrade to Vista for free. There may be shipping and handling fees, depending on the retailer. • Gateway Inc. will offer free upgrades for people who buy Vista-capable computers directly from the company. Gateway spokeswoman Kelly Odle said shipping or product duplication fees may be charged people who buy Gateway computers through other retailers. • Dell Inc. said buyers of Vista-capable Dell computers running Windows XP Home Edition will be able to buy Windows Vista Home Basic at the discounted price of $45, plus shipping and handling charges. Buyers of computers running Windows XP Media Center or Windows XP Professional will only have to pay shipping and handling to get a comparable Vista version, Dell spokesman Bob Kaufman said.
