Windows 7, on the cheap

Seems the UK will have some hefty discounts for Windows7 Home Premium. Even cheaper than in the US, funnily (for full versions, not 'upgradee media').


Windows 7 to sell in UK for half the US price

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (PC): Amazon.co.uk: Software


This adds to an offer in the US, where attendants of certain Microsoft press events would get free copies of it, "while copies last".

Free Windows 7 Professional at launch events across the US


Random note: seems like much effort is spent trying to get early adoption through the roof, after all the positive buzz.
