Thread: Windows 7 Pre-Order

Wanted to give you all a heads up if you didnt get a chance to read it in the tech news today but the Windows 7 pre-order officially starts today and lasts until July 11th or until supplies are gone. The upgrade editions, which ALL versions of XP and Vista apply to are being sold at half off. Most of the 3rd pary vendors, which includes Frys, Best Buy, and New Egg are offering free shipping on the item.

Flame wars aside, its hard to pass up something you know you are going to need eventually for half price. Even OEM versions arent traditionally half the retail price to start out, and honestly it will be tough to get ahold of OEM copies once it starts shipping.

I am planning on switching from Vista Business to Windows 7 Pro simply for the performance savings. I need to get an early start on evaluating it as soon as possible for work, and have no issues with gaming in Vista and didnt have any issues with the Win7 RC. If your considering buying it, check it out.

If you want to turn this into a flame war, or bash Microsoft, go start another thread.

If a mod wants to delete this one go ahead. I did a quick search but forgot to actually check the PC forum for topics related. I can be a real dumbass sometimes.
