So I guess this now means all the pre-orders will be upgrade versions and not the Full Retail 'E' versions any more?
"an Amazon spokesperson has today advised Cnet.co.uk that the £65 price tag is "indefinite"."
So the upgrade version is more expensive than the full version?

Trying to change the pre-ordered product to an upgrade from a full retail would be terrible PR. The Windows 7 launch team have done a very good job of maintaining good (if occassionally confusing) PR throughout, so I doubt they'd risk that.
I'm not sure how it would work with pre-orders, but there might be issues around obtaining money by deception, too. I suppose if they could guarantee that everyone who pre-ordered would be informed of the change before their money was taken and given a chance to cancel then they might be OK, but would you want to risk that legal minefield?
No, as Hexus have previously postulated, I'm pretty sure we'll get honoured with a full retail copy. Although tbh, I'd be quite happy with a full retail E copy - I'm more than capable of downloading a web browser myself...![]()
I might be naive but my pre-order was for the full 'E' version; if normal practice is followed then if the version I ordered is no longer available an equivalent or better version should be provided. The upgrade is neither equivalent or better - the upgrade version isn't a viable replacement as it requires a previous version of windows to function!
So this 'Family Pack'... Are we talking "Upgrade" lisences or "Full" licenses here?
If it's full i'll wait, if it's upgrade then i better get my order in now.
The 'Family Pack' is three Home Premium UPGRADE licences.
