MS website Windows 7
Just noticed this:
Are MS going back on their full retail version for upgrade pre-order price? All depends on what the last sentence means I suppose which I would like to take at face value but......
"NOTICE: Regarding Windows 7 “E” Versions
We are intent on providing people with the best possible experience using their PCs with Windows. Building on that important principle, we will ship the same version of Windows 7 in Europe as in rest of the world on the worldwide launch date of 22 October, 2009. This version of Windows 7 includes Windows Internet Explorer 8 to help people get the most from their PCs and the Internet. We will not ship E editions of Windows 7, which would not have included Internet Explorer. Customers who pre-order Windows 7 will receive versions of the product that include Internet Explorer. Customers participating in the Windows Upgrade Option available with select new PCs running Windows Vista will also receive versions of Windows 7 that include Internet Explorer. Customers in Europe will also be able to choose between upgrade and full versions of Windows 7."
Do you think this means that a qualifying version of a previous operating system will now be required for pre-order version which will be an upgrade version rather than the full version at 'upgrade' / pre-order price?
Might have to cancel my pre-orders.......
