There are already netbboks based on the ION platform. Not available in SG yet, though, like the Lenovo Ideapad S12. Netbooks with Win 7 will come out when Win 7 comes out.

OEM manufacturers already has the go-ahead from MS to ship Windows 7, no idea why it's taking so long for them to ship out their stuffs...

Retail need to wait till October 2009.

XP - no free upgrades

Vista - Yes, free upgrades, provided the Vista OS is bought from July 2009 onwards. Can't recall if it applies to Vista Basic.

Windows 7 Premium is listed in some Sim Lim Shop Pricelists at S$225 now.

So, will this mean that netbooks with Windows 7 and Nvidia Ion Chip will be

available in October too ?

Vista Basic isn't included. Home Premium, Business, Ultimate will have upgrades. I wonder if Enterprise also have :P
