Microsoft is still claiming a release date of January 2010, but the company has acknowledged that it’s running ahead of schedule on the follow-up to its poorly-received Vista. Any of Acer’s Vista-based PCs purchased within 30 days prior to 23rd October will be eligible for a free upgrade.

Stay tuned for more news on Acer’s 2009 lineup. We’ll have the full details for you shortly.
