Are you sure there will be no language support at all in home premium and pro?

Pretty sure, its what it said on the Microsoft "Compare different editions" chart. Worth checking again though.

Indeed.

Indeed.

Well both the official site and Wikipedia say only Ultimate has 'multi-language ui support'.

Does seem like a weird move by Microsoft...

I believe I covered that before with "Indeed "

Ah right

UI to me would mean the desktop and menus etc not the input of Japanese.

I've just got confirmation to this effect, They said the Multi language support in Ultimate will allow you to change the language the OS displays but, All versions will have the ability to input in different languages........We shall see.

Have we seen this BIG news (if it's true?)

Hmm interesting.

Looks like Microsoft are going to bite the bullet and pay the fine the EU will most probably enforce for the sake of customer experience

Either that or the EU have finally come to their senses and dropped this bloody thing.

Let's hope this doesn't create any delays to the European market.

Really? I didn't see any mention of Microsoft accepting and offering to pay the fine. Neither do I see the EU commission dropping this - why would they when their issues haven't been resolved yet? We've gone from an E version to a ballot and there's nothing stopping Microsoft from proposing something else. Besides, Microsoft's proposals are still subject to acceptance by the commission.

I meant if they go ahead and ignore the EU there will inevitabley be a fine. I agree the EU will most probably not drop this.

If Microsoft are still considering other options with the EU I am a little concerned how close this is getting to the release date, especially considering the August 6th MSDN release.

Anybody know what European MSDN customers will be getting (if anything) on August 6th?

Does anyone know of any sites offering HP for £50? Was on holiday for two weeks while the offer was on. I can only find it for £70 now.

AFAIK, there isn't any. Most sold out very quickly.

Keep looking though, you might get lucky .....and be sure to let us know if you find one once you have placed your order

Thanks anyway agent. Seems to have been handled a little unfairly by MS - whip up interest by selling it cheap and then put up the price before most people get a chance to buy.

Edit: Had a good 20 minute browse and can't find it anywhere at less than £70. Thanks for being for fair with pricing Microsoft.

Here is one website for you. http://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/Mi...s-7-Ultimate-E 199.99 for the Ultimate Edition is a great price, I have already ordered mine.

Although I would closely monitor this website because as you all know Microsoft scrapped the Big "E" yesterday and will continue with what they had planned in the first place. As I said before and I shall say it again. Microsoft has done right be removing the E marketing and brand and basically saying ** yours to the EU and will probably advise as I said at the start when the EU got their nickers in a knot about browser manipulation. If the customer wants to use the browser provided with the OS then so be it. If the customer wishes to use a third party browser then download it and use this as your default.

Make sense.
