Windows pre-order
windows 7 pre-order starts at midnight. Limited amount of copies for bagain prices.
expected to be £50 for Home premium and £99 for professional. http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/...pre-order.aspx quidco also has 15% of Microsoft store. Going to see if any of them are selling it cheap.

Good good, shall try and grab mine then.
Does anyone know Amazon/Play/eBuyer's respective policies on charging for pre orders?

Awesome, will most likely just buy whichever is cheapest unless they're all the same.
CBA with setting up quidco and an account at MS for it all though.

Cheers for the reminder but i'm still worried about the fact the MS website states you need a legit copy of XP/Vista to qualify. Myself and my parents own OEM copies, there's no real details on whether they count, and i'd ideally like to buy a third copy for a friend who doesn't own any copies.

oem should be fine, oem is a legit copy of windows. But of course it will still be tied to that motherboard.
I have one legit copy of vista retail and two other computers running windows rc. Going to risk it and get 2 copies. I can't see you typing in serial at purchase and I can't see them making a special disk for these pre orders. Can always buy some dirt cheap copies on ebay. I mean you can pick up vista for £40 on ebay already for a retail copy. Even if you have to do that it' still far cheaper.
