Windows 7 pre order

When I installed W7 RC I read that between 15th July and 12th August I would be able to obtain W7 at 50% off as a reward. But I am now unable to find any reference to this, does anyone know anything about it. Thanks

Win 7 Premium Pre-Order

I have pre-ordered Win 7 Premium and will be installing the 64 bit vers. I ordered from Play.com (£49.99)
on the day MS$ notified me it was available. I previously Beata tested Bld 7000. Which strangely I had no problems with.

Since needed Vista too, I bought a Vista Home Premium upgrade, which then Microsoft matches with a corresponding Windows 7 upgrade. Cost about $58.
