Windows pre-order

I'd stepped away while I did it dawned on me that that was likely the case. They have to take payment on Google and PayPal Checkout orders now because there's no way for them to do so later (they don't have access to the payment details).

My order is at status 'stock warning' and they haven't taken payment. They can't have done as they wouldn't be offering me options to change payment details or cancel the order if they had.

I could have got all these licenses via MSDN, but as I've said before I only use my MSDN license to (a) get stuff that is free anyway (like the RC), or (b) get stuff that I need to do my job - whether that's at home or at work, or (c) as a temporary measure either because I can't find my own copies or for evaluation purposes.

Seems silly to spurn these cheap prices and risk getting burned later.
