The most popular story this week was Lenovo's announcement that it was adding its name to the list of PC makers offering a free upgrade to Windows 7 for anyone purchasing a new computer pre-installed with Vista between now and 31 January 2010. The announcement follows hot on the heels of Microsoft revealing the official pricing for Windows 7.

Elsewhere, Apple was a surprise addition to the list of vendors agreeing to a standard for mobile phone chargers this week; while our articles on the official release time for Firefox 3.5 and our review of the web browser update were both popular with V3.co.uk readers.
