Hello! I have a new PC build I'm bringing up to speed to be my main computer. On my current main I'm running Office 2007. I'm interested in putting Office 2010 on the new PC. I need Microsoft Access, so I'm looking at Office Pro. I can download it from the Microsoft Store for $499.99. For a few...

Do you remember if you bought memory between 1999 and 2002? If you did, bet you thought it was really expensive. A major memory price fixing conspiracy is currently undergoing settlement in the United States, in which nearly every major DRAM manufacturer has been implicated. The alleged price...

Link Removed It looks like HP employees have been given an internal HP Slate presentation comparing it to the Apple iPad, according to a slide obtained by Engadget. The device will cost either $549 for the 32GB flash storage version or $599 version for the 64GB version. Both versions...

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 -...

I heard (probably on here) that ATi 5850 cards are gonna jump up in price 5-10% due to shortages... yet some checking around the big name E-retailers and Ebay is showing much bigger price hikes. Just today for example Amazon.co.uk where I ordered my 5850 the other week have upped the price by...

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...

By Tim Conneally, Betanews Microsoft has placed a $149.99 price tag on the Windows 7 Family Pack, which lets as many as three PCs in a single household upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium edition. Users in Canada will pay $199.99. Microsoft's official blogger Brandon LeBlanc confirmed the...

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...
