Windows7 american pre order from $50

nothing in the uk store yet

Microsoft would offer both Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional at a pre-order discount price of $49.99 and $99.99 respectively starting June 26th and going through July 11 while supplies last.

Microsoft Store is now taking Windows 7 pre-orders at the discounted prices. Users can either pre-order Windows 7 as a download, a download plus a disc, or just a disc. People are reporting that their Windows Live ID's aren't being accepted if they try to log in, but if they create a new account with their e-mail address the order does go through.

Also, for those wondering if you're able to "clean install" with a Windows 7 upgrade disc, Paul Thurrott is reporting that you will be able to like you could with a Windows Vista upgrade disc

Wonder what the price difference between oem and retail will be, don't like it being tied to one motherboard...

I can't see how to finish the order from the UK, and thats just for the download version. No go I'd say. Oh well $99 (+tax) for the Pro (Upgrade) version would be nice.

As mrk says look at the other thread as that links through to information about the UK offer instead of the US one.

For the UK the offer will run from July 15th for about a month and you'll be able to pre-order Win 7 Home Premium for £49 and Win 7 Pro for £99. These are full retail copies and are not upgrades as Microsoft are not selling Win 7 upgrades in Europe.
