Microsoft issued a draft of the Windows 7 Technical Guarantee Program to their OEM partners on December 10, giving them exactly one month to provide their feedback before Microsoft finalizes the program details. We managed to obtain a copy of the draft, which tentatively refers to the program as the "Windows 7 Upgrade Program". Let's take a look at the key points outlined in the draft.

Remember how well the Vista Upgrade program worked? I think consumers, despite the fact that this plan is designed to keep people from putting off a purchase as Windows 7 RTM nears, will --- if they are smart, and remember --- be at the very least cautious.

People are not going to take "Windows 7 Capable" or whatever they call it at face value, either.
