Update on Windows 7 in Europe: Norway will not get Family Pack!

Brandon LeBlanc has updated the Windows Blog with additional information on Windows 7 in Europe. Basically it breaks down to this;

• Family Pack is now available it these additional countries; the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden
• Family Pack is a limited offer (!)
• Windows 7 E will not be delivered in Europe due to the proposal that Microsoft has made to the EU of presenting a ballot screen where the customer decides which browser he wants to use
• People that have preordered upgrade versions of Windows 7 E to special promotional upgrade prices, will still get the full Windows 7 version

Read the full post here.
Additional information: Norwegian tech-site digi.no has gotten comments from Microsoft Norway that confirms that Norway will not have the Family Pack offer, since it is too small a market (!?)
