Windows 7 Should Be Free

This might sound like a joke but Frederick Paul over there at Information Week believes it should be, at least for many Vista users who felt cheated when Vista proved to be a failure and that it would be unfair if XP users have the same upgrade price as their.

In an ‘open letter’ to Microsoft, Paul further argued:

More importantly, Microsoft can afford it. In the long run, Vista upgrades will be a small portion of overall Windows 7 sales. And by recognizing and rewarding its most loyal customers, Microsoft could reap a public relations windfall while finally outdoing rivals Apple and Google. Heck, it probably wouldn’t be long before Microsoft made it all back, and more.

Of course in reality heeding Mr. Paul’s complaining would cost Microsoft millions of dollars in revenues and that’ll make everything far-fetched.

But hey, we can dream sometimes, can’t we?
