I am a UK resident and very interested in getting hold of a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. I have seen referencesto it being pre-orderable from July this year for around 50.00, is this true? Could you please advise me how to go about placing my order. Many thanks, Bluechip.

This option will be available from July, 15th, until August, 9th. See http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/buy/offers/pre-order.aspx.Mobile AMD64 3000+, VIA Apollo K8T800 chipset, 1 G RAM, ATIRadeonMobility 9700, 20x DVDRW, C:XPSP3 (55G),D:WIN7 (25G),F:DATA (250G)

Bluechip - Yes, it's true. Stay tuned - details will likely be released just before the upgrade program begins in the UK.

Yes it's true, see Sanmartins link. However, the price we have to pay is about 60% more than US residents and we don't even have an internet browser included :) Windows 7 x64 RC, Asrock K8NF6P, AMD64 3200+, 1.5GB RAM, Palit Geforce 8400GS 256MB, 500GB Maxtor SataII, Asus 1814BLT optical

Many thanks for the fast response guys. I'll keep my eyes peeled for some kind of announcement from Microsoft in mid July then?Meanwhile, if I'm sleeping, would some kind soul give me a "nudge" please. :o)Once again, Thankyou all. Bluechip

There is mention of this in the most recent USA Best Buy advertisement... Home is going to be $50USD preorder.
