pricing

I am from India. I am planning to buy Windows 7 Home edition for my use. I am a freelancer working from home and need to often go for 'remote desktop connection' to work. I would like to know whether Windows 7 will restrict me here in any sense (I am currently using XP). My question basically -...

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...

Anyone know were one can find the best price for an anytime upgrade key to Win 7 Professional?

What is the difference (besides price) of Windows 7 OEM versus Win 7 Retail?

If I was able to pay US$119 for the upgrade to home premium I'd be perfectly happy. The retail list price here in Australia is AU$199 which at current exchange rate equates to US$183.47. Microsoft claim that this is because of shipping and taxes and I'd swallow a small increase for that, but...

Does anyone know if the so called "Family Pack" will be available for purchase in Melbourne, Australia? If so, what will the pricing for it be? I already begin to feel ripped off with the pricing of Windows 7 in Australia. At least Micro$oft could make up for it by selling the Family Pack here...

Can I upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or do I have to buy it as a totally new package? The price difference is significant between the two options. :mad:

With Windows 7 due out later this month, many of you are no doubt counting the days until release. I've played with both the beta and RC of Microsoft's latest OS, and quite honestly, I liked what I saw. If this had come out in 2006 when 'Longhorn' was promised, I have no doubt that I would not...

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...

I plan on upgrading to Windows 7 64 from XP 64 this October but I am a little confused as to how the pricing for this works. I understand that XP users are eligible for the upgrade price for Windows 7 but a few things about this does not make sense to me. The first thing is where to purchase...

Happy news for our British readers today -- Microsoft is selling Windows 7 Home Premium in the UK at the bargain price of £65 for the full (non-upgrade) version. Converted to $107, that's less than Americans have to shell out just for an upgrade ($120) and about half the price of the full...

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...

If you look at the Windows 7 pre-order offer, you'll see that the £ price is MUCH more than the $ price. This is OUTRAGEOUS.
