Windows 7

[ZeroG]

Right so Windows 7 is out on Thursday and I did forget that it was so soon. At the time I pre-ordered 2 copies of Pro for £100 each partly cause it was cheap and partly cause I wasn't sure if I would get as some sites were canceling orders as they had too many pre-orders.

Anyway if anyone wants a copy of Windows 7 Pro for the original pre-order price of £100 let me know (Retail is £220 for Full Edition) otherwise I might just try and cancel 1 in the next day or 2.

There's a chart on there with differences

 

[MadmaN]

32 or 64 bit version?

I ordered Home addition for £44 from Dixons. It arrived Yesterday
The Pro was £80 and at the time, i did not have that amount of cash to spend.

The retail box comes with 2 DVDs 1 for a 32bit install and one for a 64bit install. The only real difference between Home and Pro is that with home, you don't get the new Windows XP mode.... no biggy.

 

[ZeroG]

Yup they actually made a good decision and ship both 32 and 64 bit in the same box.

That is a good decision. I'm more tempted now by this. The lower pricing also seems to be pretty tempting.

I'll probably get the Student deal and try to get Pro for £30. Stick it on my laptop and dual boot Ubuntu with it.

 

[Deep Blue]

Hey I'll take it for £100

Deep Blue has snapped up a bargain

 

[Sweeper128]

I believe RGU get it free, under MDNAA (Or what ever it's called)

UoA get it for £30 under the ac.uk email deal.
