Microsoft will begin shipping Windows 7 on October 22. But today through July 11 in the United States and Canada, you can pre-order the Windows 7 operating system for as little as $49.
Like Vista, Windows 7 will be available in several flavors. Windows 7 Home Premium is the edition most Vista users will likely want to upgrade to, but Windows 7 Professional (which includes an XP virtual machine) may be a better upgrade for some business users.
The Home Premium upgrade discounted price is $49, but increase to $119 after the pre-order sale ends. The Professional upgrade pre-order price is $99, but will cost $199 post-discount.
We’ve been using Windows 7 (the Beta and the Release Candidate) for a few months and are very impressed by how solid it is even in the testing phase. If you’re a Vista user and don’t plan on buying a new PC in the next year or so, get in on this 50% off sale before it’s over!

We told you in April that Engadget had gotten wind of an HTC Snap variant heading to Verizon Wireless. As is so often the case, the tech news site was pretty spot on, and today Verizon made it official. Meet the HTC Ozone XV6175.
With a somewhat different look than its Sprint Snap and T-Mobile Dash 3G siblings, the HTC Ozone skips the trackball system navigation system in favor of a more traditional 5-way directional pad. The QWERTY keyboard is also a bit different, but in most other ways, the Ozone is a Snap through and through.
Features include Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (non-touchscreen), a 528MHz CPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, aGPS, 2MP camera, and microSDHC slot. Although the Ozone is a CDMA phone, it also has a SIM card slot for use outside the U.S. on GSM/GPRS networks.
The HTC Ozone will be available from the Verizon Wireless online store beginning June 29, with in-store availability to follow in mid-July. The price, with a two-year service agreement and $70 mail-in rebate will be $49. Not bad.
