    Epic Maths Fail (the second time I've used that phrase on these forums in a week!).

    Actually, I'd buy a three computer Windows 7 Home Premium pack for £149.99: £50 per computer? Sounds reasonable to me in the same way that pre-ordering for £49.99 sounds reasonable.

    Now, how about a 3 pack of Pro for £199.99...?
    Epic failure to read the whole thread. If you had you would have seen that the original precept was that they would be charging £99.99 (3 x £33.33) for the 3 pack thus making it a truely reasonable investment at in effect 3 for the price of 2 at the pre-order price. However the follow on posts all think that the price is more likely to £149.99 (3 x £49.9933...) or over 3 times the price of the pre-order pack and 2p dearer than pre-ordering 3 individual copies. In effect 3 for the price of 3 and a little bit.

    Your own idea of a 3 pack of Pro for £199.99 is basically the same maths function 3 for 2 at the offer price. However it's MS and hence you'll be paying £299.99 for a 3 pack and it's still 2p dearer than 3 individual copies.

    So.... have prices been published yet, or are people just getting nerdrage about rumours and conjecture?

    All 100% made up based on our opinions I think. Certainly no rumours about pricing yet for it that I've seen.

    But that's part of the fun - seeing who guessed closest, if this ever sees the light of day
