EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

Early pricing indications from a purportedly leaked memo look to be good news for Windows 7 upgraders.

The memo, if true, also contains some rather embarassing tips for retailers on how not to sell the upgrade - it's not just 'Vista that works'...

Also this morning, the EFF has set up a website to track terms and conditions changes to online properties. Great idea.
