In fact, the limited time discount offer has already begun as of 21:00 PT, 00:00 ET.

 

Amazon has it available.

 

Cheers.

Wow they are already pricing it, any idea if this is legit, price i mean.

 

Im sure i heard they where going to release it sometimes around christmas.

[Michlo]

Umm, of course it is legit.

 

I've already ordered mine via Amazon.

[Thor.]

Cool i am most definitely going to get myself a copy, but amazon.ca does not like shipping to London Ontario for some odd reason :( .

 

Has every city but mine in Ontario, very strange.

 

is amazon the only place they are selling it?.

Amazon isn't the only one who has problems with London Ont. I went there for a job once, and the airline kept insisting I had to go to England. Even though London Ontario was listed on my itinerary and ticket.

 

As Win7 is not scheduled for release until October these must be pre orders. Or the buy vista and get upgraded free they have come out with.

[Michlo]

Tsk, tsk, Ben, didn't you read the article? :P

 

Yes, they are pre-orders. $49 is the cheapest for the Home Premium upgrade (from XP or Vista). I took the $99 Professional upgrade.

 

I doubt we'll see the prices this cheap again for a while so if you're planning to buy it I'd advise you take a look before it is finished.

 

Cheers.

I'm going to wait tell the 64bit pro oem comes out :biggrin: . Home premium sounds like to be a 32bit version of 7.

"Takes full advantage of 64-bit PC hardware and memory."

 

According to Microsoft you get both versions.
