Customers who buy systems running Windows XP Home Edition can upgrade to Vista Home Basic Edition for a flat $49 fee and to the higher-end Windows Vista Home Premium Edition for a cost of $79.

The Windows Vista Technology Upgrade Program runs from Oct. 26, 2006, through March 15, 2007. Distributors are expected to have the new SKUs in house for system builders by Oct. 15.

I guess coupons are better than no coupons...

Home Basic doesn't have Aero, right?

But does Premium offer the new Aero interface?

Anyone have any idea what kind of restrictions this is going to have? Early rumors indicated tons of 'Vista only' hardware.
