Windows 7, on the cheap

**Hard core Rikki** · August 20th, 2009

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.
