News - The clock starts ticking on Windows 7 pre-order promotion

[lodore]

I seen that too! Surely that is wrong?

i also saw this on that page: please note, the special introductory offer from Microsoft has now run out!

[colincliff]

got mine from PC world. free delivery if you add one of their 97p items too. I bought will maker software!

I seen that too! Surely that is wrong?

worded a little weirdly, the £45 price was the price for a special "pre-order version" of Windows 7,

they ran out of their allotment, now you can only pre-order the "normal" version, at its normal price.

I go Pro from Amazon this morning... I wasn't sure that I really need the Pro edition, but I thought that the offer might end quickly and decided to buy now and, if required, can cancel later... but if Home Premium is now upto £80 then it's a no brainer!

Currys have HP for £45 with free P&P. Just got mine; no idea what the service will be like

The list of retailers are at http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/...pre-order.aspx.

I've ordered from Currys as well, ebuyer and Amazon didn't have stock

[LuckyNV]

So what's the deal with the limited stocks? I always thought it was just an incentive to get people pre-ordering but now retailers are raising prices as listed post-promo?

I've pre-ordered from Currys out of panic

[Nelsaidi]

So have I, but I HATE currys, they SUCK, I will be checking amazon stocks on the hour, if it comes in I'll get it there.

[=assassin=]

I'm glad I got in quick - I didn't think the prices would rise this fast!

[da_ging]

shame that argos don't appear to be selling it as I've got £20 in gift vouchers for them, not sure why they aren't though as they are listed in the faq as a participating retailer

[reckless2k1]

the demand for this actually beats out Vista in its pre-release stage, I seen deals for under 50 quid for the Home Premium edition!

[shinobivs]

Same here with the Curry's order. I hate the place but for £45 delivered you cant really go wrong.

[testbreakdown]

Ordered pro version from amazon, saw how quick they were selling out, so ordered a copy of home from PC world too (for my Dad). All comments seem really positive so I've high hopes for Windows 7.

Theres loads of videos going around on the net and what ive seen its looking pretty sweet.
Also its meant to run and boot a lot quicker than XP which cant be bad. Also you dont need a shed load of RAM to run it like you do with Vista
