Windows 7 the big pre order discount
This is the subtitle that Microsoft great you with, when you visit their Windows 7 page! There are some questions that still remain in our heads after reading this, for example how can we be sure that this is not going to be the actual price of the software after its release?!
As it is right now you can buy an Update for as little as 50$ which means: for fifty dollars you can go from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium via the Update Option. However, the Windows XP and 2000 users will have to back up all their data and do a clean install, which by the way I recommend to all Vista users as well.
There is also a discount on Windows 7 Professional which is not offered as an Update.
For those who are interested in Windows 7 Premium there is a bad news because it does offer a pre-order but there is not a discount for it!
