The retail edition contains 32bit & 64bit fresh install on a new partition(the one you want)
The upgrade edition is described as `upgrade` (for vista users only) which (if i'm not mistaken) as yet is not listed on site

I'm on the Talisman Montrose Alpha.
So the price will be £66 till the end of this month at least? Really want this but am completely skint, can't justify buying it right now.....baby needs shoes
9 days till pay day........
If you have the mental/fiscal discipline required then this is a situation that credit cards were designed for.
if you got the pro's at the discount price ebay them and make a profit
Just starting to look at that at the mo. Will see.
I'd maybe sell 3 of them and then get an Ultimate Edition for my laptop for the encrption stuff etc.
to be honest though the ebay price will only be a good one come Jan i think, when the prices go up

Shouldn't have any issues for that date anyway. When I say we've got a lot, I really do mean we have got a lot.
I'm hoping I'll have enough money to grab the ultimate version @ the discount price before it goes out of stock.
In the mean time, I have pre-ordered the HP edition already so that'll do.

I think I will have to order this earlier than I thought then.
I don't wanna miss out on the cheaper price.
I just seen what the prices will be going up to
£149 for Home Premium
is that from the 1st 2010?

They would but it would take much longer for them to recover R&D costs.
Packaging will cost them little so why not drop the price & sell more? I think the reason some will pirate it is the big price tag, perhaps (I don't know) if the price was better less would take that risk.
think I'll order my copy at the end of the month, Home premium seems like a great price & hopefully you still have stock at the offer price

i think your missing the point, they will sell just as much, win7 is gonna be here for 3 years at least so most people will migrate in that time when they upgrade hardware. However these early low prices are just to get the IT bods on board, and what are we telling are people "windows 7 is good" so i think enough people want to get off XP (because its getting on a bit) and Vista because by large its not great (although i had no issues with it myself)

Lmao, I put my copy of HP retail on the bay and within 10mins someone messaged me saying why it was more than OCUK at £72.99 and I said they should get it from ocuk because once they realise the prices went up everywhere else today they will do the same....not an hour later look what OcUK do 
Methinks someone from OcUK messaged me ¬_¬
