Also, some retailers including Amazon and Best Buy will offer Windows 7 Home Premium and Pro upgrades for pre-order starting tomorrow, Pre-Order by July 11th and save 50%!

Those of you in EU: Due to regulations, there will only be full versions of Windows 7 available and in-place upgrades will not be allowed, full editions will be sold at upgrade pricing until the end of 2009 in Europe. Internet Explorer 8 will not be included with Windows 7 in Europe and will have to installed separately.

That's nothing. If you reserve a copy of Windows 7 now through newegg or tiger direct, you can get Home Premium for $49.

*goes to reserve copy.*

Hey, how can I resist?

EDIT: Okay, they ran out at Newegg, but at least they had some left at Tiger Direct, where I got mine.

Since I didn't want to pay SO much for shipping, I won't get mine 'til November 23. Not surprised since it's a pre-order and all. I'll wait.

I'll probably regret it but I'm not paying a cent for Windows 7 till I pirate it and make sure it's not a piece of garbage. I made that mistake with Vista. Won't do that again.

Knowing your little computer repairing business, you'll probably need it eventually anyways.

XP until it dies...then I'll figure out what I'll do next.

I'm sticking with Vista until 7 actually becomes stable. Despite all the public testing and such, it still has a rushed feeling to me that I don't like. Vista runs decent enough for me right now (though 7 RC seems better), until a certain amount of time has passed, I still consider 7 to be in Beta even after it's been released.
