Wow, Microsoft is telling people who already have Windows to buy a full retail copy of Windows 7 just to get rid of crapware?

Maybe there's money to be made by rebranding CyanogenMod as "Android Signature" (now in vanilla froyo flavor)...

"If you live near a store, you can bring in any Windows 7 compatible PC and the Store techs will do a clean install of Windows 7 (you’ll need to buy a full retail copy, of course), migrate all of your data,"

This reads to me like you can either upgrade to Windows 7 or they will reinstall a clean image with your current license key...

Your current license key is usually for an OEM version and not a "full retail copy." I understand this as meaning you will have to purchase Windows 7 again if it came pre-installed on your PC.
