come on people why pirate the bloody software when it it is £50, this is why they have doe it, if i made some thing that went around the world, and it cost £200 but it sold (for argument sake) 4 million coppies, and then it was pirated millions times over you would lose, but if you sold the said same product for (a very good price) and sold muliti millions (if not billions) of coppies, you would make more money, less fines, and no pirating, jezz they are in a win/win situation, if i was a person that made this type of product, i would rather make £10 profit, per item knowing i was going to sell billions of copies world wide, and to top it off knowing that most people would not pirate your software...
microsoft, you are very shrewd

ONLY THOSE IN JP, US OR UK CAN GET IT FOR THAT PRICE!!!!!
I've tried all the stores some are already sold out and some are already hiking the prices up some are taking orders but there site is worse than useless and 3 sites require you to enter your billing address using your postcode which is impossible for those outside the UK. So for the 7.5 billion who live outside the countries it's either full price or pirate versions.

yesi heard the same thing, and all i bought was 2 copies 1 for me and 1 for my lady, so it cost me £100, i would like the family version but for £59 you cant go wrong.
I have been screaming non-stop since yesterday
Anyway, just ordered two copies, HP and Pro each from two seperate retailers just to make sure I get the damn thing come October. Can always sell the spare one and make a tiny profit few months down the line, can't go wrong with it at that price. With a collosal amount of orders placed in just a few days, many things can go wrong such as "sorry, we can't find your order in the system"

I'm confused. According to MS site for the Pre-order FAQ's, it states :
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/buy/offers/pre-order-faq.aspx
So is it an upgrade or a full retail version? What if I'm running another OS, can I not install this?
FULL RETAIL NOT UPGRADE, even if you wanted to buy an upgrade you couldn't because in Europe, only full retail is sold. Just do a clean install like normal.

cannot belive its sold out at the 2 places i checked, glad i ordered mine yesterday
Umm, he isn't putting any of his money into this scheme. Merely enough just so he can patent things.

I would wait for Windows 8 cos it may look nice with new features,etc.. once Windows 7 release this year then MS start to development new Windows 8 and then may come out in 2011/2012 and think MS prefer 64bits only as they wont use 32bits (mentioned in some news few months ago that MS is about to ditch 32bits OS) -- I save up some money for upgrade new hardwares plus Windows 8 by 2011 -- I will wait for new AMD 32nm CPU with AM3
