Amazon has got so many windows 7 preorders that they have removed it from microsofts site and are offering it at the retail price of £74.99 But stores such as pc world and comet are still selling at £44.99 I luckily got mine at Comet!

Windows 7 now available for pre-order in the UK Windows 7 Home Premium £44.99 Windows 7 Professional £89.99 Please bear in mind that the European version of this software DOES NOT ship with Internet Explorer. You need to download a copy of Internet Explorer from the Microsoft site...

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.

Microsoft promised that by purchasing the pricey Ultimate edition of Vista users would get all kinds of extras. However, for many, those extras turned out to be little more than a few screensavers and a poker game prompting some significant grousing. Now, that frustration has turned to...

Kaspersky's next big release is Kaspersky Internet security 2010 which comes with new and improved components. Anybody tried it on Windows 7? I am running it smoothly on Windows 7 build 7317. Price is 59.95$/yr but you can taste trial version for free Link Removed due to 404 Error

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...

Hi All From what I can see the European pricing model doesn't look too bad -- although the No Browser part still needs to be clarified== you do need SOME browser in the system to be able to connect to the Internet and download and install one. BBC NEWS | Technology | Windows 7 pricing gets...

To help avert criticism, Microsoft and its retail partners will temporarily offer steep discounts on the Upgrade versions of Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional only. Consumers who preorder these products online between June 26, 2009 and July 11, 2009 in the US and Canada will pay just...

Microsoft this morning announced its retail pricing plans for Windows 7. First, the good news: Contrary to rumors, the company is not raising prices. The bad news? It's not significantly lowering prices either. In fact, most versions of Windows 7 will simply cost exactly the same as their...

What is the best iTunes DRM remover for Windows 7 that is under $10.00?

As I commented in a previous thread.... Well, An IT System Admin friend of mine had a 'teleconference' with MS on the subject of Win7 the other day; when I was talking with him, he asked me if there was anything I wanted to know about Win7? I ( in a 'tongue-in-cheek' mode) said yeah, ask them...

No news of non-upgrade pricing, which is a bummer, but some news is better than no news. Link to article by Ina Fried at cnet Link Removed

"In tough economic times, I think it's naive to believe that you can increase your prices on average and then still see a strong swell than if you held prices flat or even lowered them. I can tell you that the licensing tiers at retail are more expensive than they were for Vista." Link Removed...

Since about 2.5 million people have been testing Win7 and (as myself) have informed Microsoft of several bugs found, will "we" get a special discount when purchasing the final version ? I mean that since Microsoft didn't pay anything for "our" time and expertise, it should only be fitting that...

was really gettin used to w7 really would like to purchase but was wondering what it would cost anyone have any idea??

I had a look at the Win 7 pricelist and its in dollars, it doesnt really help seing as though i live in the UK, and converting it doesnt help since most games are sold for same quantity of currency in most countries. Will it be similar to Vista prices? And can i just buy an OEM copy without...

Ho guys sorry if this is in German but you should be able to see some of the "Semi-Official" pricing for Windows 7. These are for "New" editions (I Hope). If there's no cheaper Upgrade versions then much as I like Windows 7 count me out -- I'll just stick with XP and run a number of Virtual...

Does anyone have some insight as to how much the different distros of win7 will cost? Estimated retail? Estimated wholesale? what do you guys think?

Upgrade is usually cheaper than not. Seeing we have beta on the machine would that be considered an upgrade as I had XP originally.
