http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/024588Normally, I'd wait until things had panned out a little and maybe the first SP was out of the way, but that seems bloody cheap, no? Full retail money is £180 and there's no OEM pricing yet. My last OEM copy of XP cost £85ish. Anyone else thinking about it, or pre-ordered already?

I ordered a copy from dixons.co.uk for a tenner less and as its the full monty ie its the full product, there should be no monkeying around if re-install are neccessary. _________________Finally joined Flickr

I pre-ordered 7 last month
Bear in mind it WILL be the upgrade one now, as the E edition has been scrapped

I've got several copies of Win 7 Pro on order (£80!), I intend to hold on to the spares and then flog them for a profit.

So does this mean they're dropping back to just having Pro/Home editions then? I've really not been following the whole Windows 7 thing, I guess in part due to a lack of a suitable machine to run the betas on.

Thanks Caz, but I'll managed without Fin, how do you know about the upgrade situation? I've just read this: http://community.winsupersite.com/blogs/paul/archive/2009/08/01/microsoft-kills-windows-7-e-editions.aspxand I'm now unsure what to do. I don't need 7 now, but I don't wanna miss out on a blinding price for a full retail. If it's just an upgrade, I'm not interested.

Internal dialogue of that 72%: “Oh wow, that looks nice. Oh dear, I've got the wrong computer for it. I'll have to settle for something else.”

Did you read the link you posted? I was pointing it out as some of the new pre-orders might not be retail, so take screenshots etc when you order if it says full version _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

No, you ordered it. You didn't reserve the option to order it, you ordered it. Simples. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Well I did actually as I can cancel my 'pre-order' at any time up to release without penalty, and as my card hasn't been charged there is no acceptance of contract with the supplier so is not an official order as such  _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
