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...

What is up with the bait and switch tactic...

I have heard conflicting stories about what to do when buying the retail while you have the RC installed.
When I bought my computer it had XP installed and a Vista business upgrade disk with it. When I installed windows 7 I did a clean install over XP. I have heard that when changing from the...
Hi,
This week I built a new system, and bought Vista OEM for $99 with it. I haven't opened the package for Vista yet, as I've downloaded/installed the Windows 7 RC.
Here's my question:
Does anyone know what MS has in store for pricing Win7 for those of us that are using the Release Candidate...
Today Microsoft announced the pricing of Windows 7. As Link Removed due to 404 Error, the EU will be getting a version that will not contain IE and because of this Microsoft will be offering no upgrade option in the EU.
