I got pretty much the same e-mail from Currys… apart from recycling a few parts from current desktop, my Win7 box is about ready to go as soon as it arrives.
I had pre ordered it with amazon, but decided to cancel it, the price diff between amazon and say currys is next to nothing, so my plan was to walk into a shop and just get it off the shelf, easy, BUT as I’m going to be needing multiple coppies I was going to opt for the family pack, but as yet no prices have emerged. Just waiting too see. Got it running on all my PC’s here already, and most happy
I had the same email from Currys too… Big part of me is a little peeved off because my desktop is awaiting a rebuild… and well its pointless doing it now…
Also had a copy from our LEA… Don’t know the jist of it… someone there did say something about it being a Corp edition… but I thought they had done away with that ?
Prices for the family pack were published ages ago. Have a look on theregister web site, I’m sure a family pack license (3 licenses) was set at about £150.
