Windows 7 preorders begin in the US, Canada, and Japan

Today residents in the US, Canada, and Japan have the opportunity to preorder Windows 7 upgrade versions of both Home Premium and Professional editions for significantly reduced prices. The deal lasts until July 11 in the US and Canada, and until July 5 in Japan. Microsoft emphasizes that this is all considering "while supplies last" but refused to reveal how many copies it was allowing to be sold at the reduced rates. In addition to the Microsoft Store, here's the list of retailers that are offering the preorder deal (online only): Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Fry's Electronics, Office Depot, Office Max, Sam's Club, Staples, Tiger Direct, Wal-Mart, New Egg, and Nebraska Furniture Mart.

That's because Microsoft are marketing an OS-Free version for the EEC...joke.

I gave a preorder to Amazon. As a previous poster said, no tax or shipping. A new OS for less than $50.00 is a really a great price.

I'm soooo bummed out. I JUST bought a windows vista HP box about a month ago so now i'm going to miss the deadline for the free copy of Windows 7.... Microsoft should give free upgrades to ALL 2009 customers!

Anyone want to buy an OEM copy of Vista? :)

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit and I am quite satisfied with the sowtware...it works the way I want at to work...stabile.I have also downloaded Windows 7 RTM from Microsoft direct link.I am not in a hurry to install the software as soon as possibile.There were six or seven leaked versions untill the last one and Microsoft recomand the version I have already told You.I have seriously working like a musician and i have many of music softwares on my P.C. and everything that works on Windows XP,works on Windows Vista,too.My P.C. has 160Gb of Hard Disk and 4Gb memory card.I have manage to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit and it tooks me 15Gb of space on my Hard Disk and I have install 32Gb of other softwares.Now I have 110Gb on my prime Hard Disk.I am using only One partition...My P.C. runs perfect.I am a humble man and i think that the team from Microsoft are very dedicated to their work and working hard to accept our needs.They are also cooperative and handle problems in every form .Only the people whose doesn*t work properly on their P.C.have a complains on these creative persons and their work.Windows 7 is the future and I am not suspicious about that and if I have to participate in that part of a deal I am expecting a part of that celebration cake...At least Genuine approval that I am working with their up to date latest product.So keep up working and deal with problems because there is no such a thing as Wizards stick to solve our mistakes.We will be in touch,I hope so...I am wishing You succesful and creative future to all of You around the Globe.Thanks for your time to read these few senteces of mine...Goran Tanevski
