Amazon has a pretty good discount on the upgrades.

Conscript is back :p

All students should look to their schools/collages/Unis for copies. Not all are part of the MSDN scheme, but some are.

If that's a no go, "the ultimate steal" deal from MS can give you a huge discount!

Re: [HEXUS] Windows 7 pricing revealed

I will bump this now because I feel it is relevant

the offer has begin (in EU and UK) and you can get your Windows copies cheap cheap

I myself pre ordered a copy from Amazon for 44.97, few hours later the price has risen to close to £80, as has Play

Just pre ordered another 2 copies from PC world for my Dad and Brother, they still have the price at £44.99, so if you are in the UK etc etc and are planning on getting Win 7

act fast, not necessarily a question of stock (Home Premium went out of stock and unavailable for pre order loads of times, but more stock was allocated) its whether or not the price will stay so low

Re: [HEXUS] Windows 7 pricing revealed

These are full retail yes? Not the upgrades?

Re: [HEXUS] Windows 7 pricing revealed

What about the prices on OEM copies?

[MrChris_CJ]

Re: [HEXUS] Windows 7 pricing revealed

They are full versions, Microsoft atm can't release an upgrade version in Europe (something to do with the IE8 thing); its just a pre-order deal that was done in the USA etc, now in EU, after the deadline you got to pay full price

as for OEM

no idea, but eventually when they were released I would expect them to cost more than the price at PC world currently
