Windows 7 pre-order prices - not bad (inc. link)



this is the bit I find funny:


so if you buy a computer, you have to have another computer to downlaod a web browser to then put on it, what a joke, stupid ruling, they should at least make them put installers for all the main browsers on the desktop to allow people to choose.

i'm sure osx comes with safari!
If you buy a computer its likely to be OEM build with a browser shipped so the above shouldn't apply.

we (pc world) have done loads of them already and they were only available for pre-order today! we've been told every pre-order should be honored with allocated stock.
so you've actually got the boxes in with software, thought it was months until it was released?
 
Your next laptops will have Windows 7 anyway won't it? :rasp:

if i went for an off the shelf brands yes but your lumbered with their software. recovery systems general junk you may not want or use

I didn't think you would have MSDN, m8? What do you do again? :)

Senior IT Bod.

3rd line stuff mainly. I look after all our hosted kit in our data centre, SQL, IIS, plus stuff like looking after the SAN, F5, Checkpoint firewalls etc. We have another set of people that look after the internal IT gubbins.

We are a devleopment company so we have quite a lot of MSDN accounts, nearly all the developers have an account, but I do have my own for setting up test systems etc, comes in very useful!

if i buy one copy of say windows 7 home (£69 on amazon now...) will i be able ot use it on both my laptop and my PC? or is it for singular computer use only? ie: one license?

There is a family pack but right now it's only available in the US. That will allow 3 installs. You'll have to read the conditions but I suspect you can order it from America and use it over here.

Started installing Pro on our machines, looks good and just as fast or faster than Vista. Only problem is some driver issues, all surmountable except for an issue with an old modem. Will probably just take it out and bin it...!
