I did not see the point in going for pro.

Same here, well i always have a retail version of Vista if i need it on another machine so cant complain. Not used 1 feature that is only on Pro/Ultimate on this RC yet anyway so i don't think i'm missing out any.

I went pro just for the sake of it. No real need for it as the comp is the kids any how

I'm going to buy the ultimate, just like I did vista. I didn't regret that so hopefully this will be the same.

There's nothing in Ultimate of use for a home user or enthusiast, save some cash and get Pro.

Really frustrating to buy home premium from the sites it is still available at as I keep getting an internal error code 100

Well I went for pro as at that price why not also got 6 copies of HP as well 1 for kids pc, 2 for laptops and the rest spare as I just know that the rest of my family will have ignored my advice to grab their own copies.

Either that or flog it on.

Just ordered 1 HP for myself. £45, bargain I must say.

It will be over 3100 toward an SSD so works out great hehe!

You're assuming the market wont be flooded with people who've had the same idea

BananaDunka · 18 Jul 2009 at 04:22

With limited preorders @ £45 I'm quite confident I will get at least double that come XMAS

Ordered five copies of HP at £44.99 - one for me, and four to get whatever I can for. Doubt I'll make very much, but it should at least pay for my copy. Went for HP as I don't think the demand for Pro will be anywhere near as great.

I chuckled looking at that the price of that POS Norton 360, £59.97 :eek:

can't believe the whole brandnew OS costs only £45! I know they're completely different but somebody must be out of their mind ordering the former

Anyone trying to make a good bit of money by buying extra copies of Windows 7 will probably be gutted as so many people are doing the same!! Bit like when the Free sims came out some years ago. Certain places were flooded with them!

Surely M$ will have thought about people buying up copies and flogging them on. they will probably have something in place to prevent this.

Like what? Doubt that. All Microsoft are concerend about is $. More they sell the $ they make.

Nothing can be done. It was meant to be 3 per customer. But some retailers didn't stop you ordering more an people just ordered from more than one retailer.

Come Christmas it will be in the shops for £79 :confused:

It's not until January that it goes up to £150.
