Microsoft ENDS Windows 7 promotion

POCKET-LINT ARTICLE EXCERPT:

Microsoft has pulled its Windows 7 promotional pricing in a move that will no doubt be unpopular with those not quick off the mark in ordering the new operating system.

Microsoft's promotional, pre-sales, pre-order pricing for its next operating system went live in the UK on 15 July and was scheduled to run up until 14 August.

However, that move appears to have changed with Microsoft and Amazon boosting their prices to cash in on the new found popularity of the OS.

Microsoft was offering the pre-sales price of £49.99 and £99.99, however is now charging £79.99 for Home Premium and £189.99 for Professional upgrade editions.

Microsoft's normal Windows 7 prices seem pretty high to me, currently I only run Windows in VMs. So far I'm not regretting running OS X. :shrug:
 
Got my 3 pre-orders in and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people brought lots of copies for eBay later in the year :) .

GRRR I was saving up to order one the end date was fine as by then I would have got my car through its MOT, taxed it and sorted out insurance so knew which copy I could afford.
