i want to install windows 7 on a new bulid and my old laptop(which i will be upgading) is this possible
Microsoft will be selling a family pack, which gives you three copies of Windows 7 for £150. However they're 'upgrade' copies so you'll need to have three licenses for XP or Vista already.
Otherwise you'll just have to bite the bullet and buy a copy of the OS for each machine you want to install it on.
Brandon LeBlanc (Microsoft) said:I want to provide a couple of updates for my friends in Europe today in regards to Windows 7.
I want to start off with an update to our plans for the Windows 7 Family Pack. As I mentioned last month, starting with the launch of Windows 7 on October 22nd, customers will be able to buy a Family Pack in the US & Canada. This allows users to install Windows 7 Home Premium on up to 3 existing Windows PCs for a reduced price. It’s an easy and cost effective way to get customers entire household on Windows 7.
I can now tell you of several more countries that will have a chance to take advantage of this great deal: the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden. This will also be a limited offer, but is just one more way that our customers can save on Windows 7.
Bloody microsoft, they wont be happy until they have all the money in the world![]()
Don't use their software then? - there are always free alternatives if you think the cost is too great..
*Sigh*
Once again
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - £150 at Official release day.
OS lasts for average 3 years.
£50 per year or less than £2 per week to use the OS.
Deals around at the moment mean you can get HP for a lot less than £150.
And you still feel this software is overpriced?
