Today the EU pre-orders start !!!

[knuckles84]

I have Pre-ordered 3 Home Premium Licence from Amazon.co.uk, and there I'm very happe because they do not ask 49£ but only 44,9£ what is ok. (so for people living in non-english Land and do not have the possibility to got an english version, go to amazon.co.uk)

What I find bad is that in lands like germany I can not buy an english version, or in french, the pre-orders are only for nativ languages.

But now it is done for me, and I'm happy about it!!!!

Who of you as pre-ordered now Windows 7 ??

I am a little concerned too. I live in Australia where no pre-order is, or has been available so I ordered 2 copies on Amazon and they will be sent to a friend in the US who will then forward them to me. I am a little concerned that the Australian Language stting won't be available in this edition which would be a real bummer! It is not just the dictionary but also the date & page formats etc that are effected. Anyone know if this will be the case or not?

I ordered the PRO SKU, just to make sure i can do all the things i need to at work as well. I am pretty stoked - 90 quid is a good price, especially as we are getting the full version (all be it minus IE, but the is easy to fix)

Quick question tho: I didn't get the option to chose 32 or 64 bit - am i to assume both SKU's are on the one disk??

Cheers!

<H1>Dear Customer,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Store.
Due to the eagerly anticipated Windows 7 pre-order offer we’re experiencing a higher level of demand on our website than usual.

I ordered Pro, as you say for 90 quid I'm pretty bowled over - that's Mac OS X money

Thanks Swarf

Yeah, that would be the option I'm looking for but this is not a screenshot from a pre-ordered edition purchased in the US. The OP mentioned that some languages are not available in some countries and I assume he is talking about pre-order editions.

I have ordered only Home Premium licences because it's all I need, and if I will need sometime more (I do not know if I need more to administrate a Windows Home Server, that I will buy in a future) I will do an anytime Upgrade to Ultimate that will cost 177€ (the only euro Price I found in dollar they ony ask 159$ strange), so finaly I got a Windows 7 Ultimate for +/- 200€ what is a good price compared to an normal Ultimate Price of +/- 300€.

Can I use hers too? Mine expires also

I ordered Home Premium from Amazon UK- free supersaver delivery £44. Can't go wrong with that price

 

[paradoxni]

do they only take your cash in october when its shipped or do they take it immediately?

...nevermind Ive just preordered 2 copies

 

[LePoilu]

I pre-ordrered 3 copies of Home premium
1 for me, 2 for my parents.

In France that was a little bit crasy. All the official sellers was robbed in few minutes, and MS Store was offline 95% of time since midnight.
I still try to get my 3 copies through MS Strore for the downloadable version. But at this time I'm happy to have a valid order in an other store

Actually feel a bit sad now I've ordered the thing. Like the party's over.

I've really enjoyed the last 6 months, it's been incredibly exciting and involving.

Also I've watched people be altruistic, in the truest sense of the word, live on the internet. Absolutely amazing. A privilege.

Now it's gonna plop through my door in a few weeks time. ho hum.

Also I'm getting the impression that 7600 is a bit of an anticlimax so I don't know whether to install it.

There's still the for real RTM and I suppose that the service packs will leak but it will surely be a while before there's any leaked versions of W8 worth slavering over.

Might have to get a life!
