Trust me, I'm from the Internets
Nobody bothers to ask how much Windows 7 will cost because they already know the answer:

Way too much.  Just like XP and Vista.

Well, according to a quick google that not true.

Microsoft said at the PDC 2008 that Windows 7 will cost the same price as Windows Vista did when it came out. They believe that is was a very good price, because the cost balance pays all the staff and profits needed. So we are looking at this: Starter - £50. Home Basic - £100. Home Premium - £150. Business - £170. Ultimate - £200. And then it should come down. I agree with Microsoft on this, Windows Vista and Windows 7 is worth this much. No Operating System has reached its standards, not even Unix or Mac OS X. However Linux is worth its price definitely, because it's free. I believe Mac OS X is good for show-off businesses and media hobbyists (show-off or not).

Most people don't give a flying frack what OS their phone uses.   Especially since people don't use their phone to run AutoCad, Photoshop, ArcGIS, Adobe Audition, ProTools, or any other piece of software that is industry standard for their profession.

Only Proprietary software vendors deal in absolutes.
You are the special one jamie.  Will you get Windows 7 for free or will you also have to remortgage your house and sell one of your cars to get it as well?
