Microsoft reveals Windows 7 pricing details

No Windows 7 upgrade path for Europe.  See blogs.zdnet.com/Bott

And it's not $50 for UK, it's $50 ($82). Even taking in to account tax, that's quite a hike for the privilege of a mandatory fresh install!

and no mention of family pricing ??? again !!!

And now engadget are claiming it's £80 ($143) in the UK;

I wonder if they got confused with the dollar price and the pounds price.

if we cant get it at a fair price, regardless of reasons coz as a consumer i personaly dont care, then we wont bother with the change of O/s or we will waite for our Pc`s to expire and get Windows7 bundled

as much as i like W7 .... its Vista on steroids and the user experience is much the same , being charged full price is NOT a twisted arm behind the back cost my family is willing or able to afford , with 6 Pcs in the house the cost is far to prohibitive

The Eu is not the only ones to blame here ... Msoft are a multi million dollar campany with the best minds in the world at there finger tips and thats the best they can do to for Beta testers and users who solely use there software outside the US ..... disgraceful
