discounts

By Scott M. Fulton, III, Betanews In response to a Saturday story from Betanews contributor Joe Wilcox, a Microsoft spokesperson told Betanews this afternoon that "the offer has not been 'pulled'" -- specifically, that it did not revoke anything with regard to its three-license Windows 7 Home...

By Joe Wilcox, Betanews I've got a new spelling for "Scrooge." M-i-c-r-o-s-o-f-t. The company has ended the Windows 7 Family Pack promotion, which is a nice Ba Humbug to you and yours for the holidays. Sure, it could be good for Microsoft's bottom line and perhaps partners' PC sales. But for...

I must say since installing the retail version if Win 7 Ult.x64 I have had no problems with it at all and judging from the latest posts most of the problems aired seem to be computer related or operators not knowing how to do things rather than any major fault of Windows. IE8 is rather slow but...

I've come across some really good deals of late, and figured being near xmas some people might want to add to this list of discounted bargains for some quality games of the last year or so. Here's my tips for excellent prices which are all currently available via Amazon.co.uk 1. Crysis...

I currently have Vista Home Premium on my laptop. I am able to purchase the upgrade to W7 Pro for only $40 through my school. They only have the Pro and Ultimate discounted. I would rather purchase the Pro but I thought that I read somewhere that I would have to do a custom install if I...

Can someone explain how technet works? I called them and asked the same question. A very helpful lady told me I could download an ISO of any of the MS software up to 10 times and that each ISO has 10 activation keys. That makes 100 copies for my own use of each of their software titles. Is...

I have to say, I'm loving Windows 7 Ultimate, I've never gotten such a smooth upgrade first on my machine, and then an equally smooth and event free clean install on my wife's machine. Microsoft finally got it right. Homegroup is probably the greatest thing to ever hit windows since the...

Hi, I recently saw the offer to get Home Premium for $30 if you're with a University (have a .edu email address). I looked up the wiki page for W7 editions and it has a comparison chart, and it says that Home Premium supports a maximum of 1 CPU chip. My processor is Intel Core 2 Duo. So does...

Found this somewhere else so thought I'd share it here:- Tesco is currently offering Windows 7 Home Premium for £49.97, coupled with a discount code from the folks at HotUKdeals, you can get the full edition of Windows 7 Home Premium for £44.97 delivered. Visit the Tesco listing, add to...

Hey, I realize in a previous post on these forums - AkoCham was gracious enough to share a link on the Pre-order of W7 for students. No one has mentioned this yet to my knowledge, but does anyone know if 'all' Ultimate Steal Software will be available similar to Vista? Namely Office 2010...

Microsoft is now offering the following new exams through Prometric for Windows 7 certification: Exam Name: TS: Windows 7, Configuring Client/Exam Number: Microsoft 070-680 Exam Name: Pro: Windows 7, Enterprise Desktop Support Technician Client/Exam Number: Microsoft 071-685 Exam Name...

Sorry if this has already been answered. Some retailers\online stores are offering a 'Free Windows 7 Upgrade Coupon' with purchase of Windows Vista. My question is the exact nature of this coupon, does it mean that you simply for free get a coupon that allows a discount on your purchase of 7...

Hi. I am currently running Windows Vista Ultimate (SP2), 32 bit on my desktop PC. I ordered the Windows 7 upgrade Home Premium version during the 50% discount sale period. I have no need for Windows 7 Ultimate. Will I be able to use the upgrade version to do a clean install of Windows 7 Home...

Microsoft. I have enjoyed using the Windows 7 RC. I was emailed an offer to upgrade to Windows 7. The email says the discount price because I have been testing the release candidate, is $99 for Pro. When I click on the link the price says $199. What is up with the bait and switch tactic...

All of you who scoffed at me so strongly when I suggested a few months ago that Microsoft could/might offer an OS 3-pack when Windows 7 goes GA, check out the link below. I don't know yet just how much discount is offered by buying 3 licenses with one DVD, but any discount is some. I am of the...

I thought some of you might be interested with the RTM imminent. Enter TMSAM10 at checkout. I'm not sure when it expires but I used it two days ago so I can vouch for its validity in the US. It gets you a technet subscription for $260 ($280 after tax).

Ok, so we all know about Microsoft giving us alot of money off windows 7 if we pre-order....But, does the home premium come with 64bit? it says in the description it coems with 64 bit which confuses me lol sry for sounding lik a moron ¬_¬ Link Removed

Used to have Vista Home Premium on my PC (no install disks) but after several Windows 7 installs Vista got overwritten, so I no longer have any 'proof of Vista' ownership. MS is offering 50% discounts on upgrade preorders ($99 for Windows 7 Pro), but I suspect I am SOL (i.e. will have to buy...
