Windows 7 Launch Ready

Best Buy is ready for the Windows 7 launch.
Best Buy where the cages were loaded exclusively with new models preloaded with Windows 7. A salesperson said that the information was conveyed to me at one store in Southern California and may not necessarily apply to all stores nationwide. Best Buy can theoretically sell you a Windows 7 machine before October 22. However, the store would get fined if it does so. One figure thrown out by a salesperson was $5,000 per sales violation. Almost all of the shelf space had been cleared. In other words, when I walked into the laptop section, all of the counter space that typically holds 50 laptops (or more) was empty. The space will be repopulated on October 22. Why the empty counters? Best Buy had sold virtually all the Vista machines in the store prior to Windows 7 launch. Windows 7 laptops behind the cages include an HP dv6 laptop with a 16-inch screen (model: dv6-1352dx), a Dell Inspiron with 15.6-inch screen (model: i1545-4203), an HP G60 (model: G60-535DX), and a Sony Vaio VGN series (model: VGN-NW270/FS). Note that most of these models do not show up in a Google search or in the Best Buy database yet.
There is also reported a 18-inch class Asus laptop packing a quad-core Core i7 processor with killer graphics, we don't know which graphics card it used.
