Microsoft confirms rumored Windows 7 'Family Pack'

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 22 Jul 2009 2:54 User comments (9)

Microsoft confirms rumored Windows 7 'Family Pack' Earlier this month the online retailer Expercom leaked the price of the much anticipated Windows 7 Family Pack, the pack that includes three licenses for Windows 7 Home Premium.
The leak said the price would be $137 USD for the three-license pack.

Today, Microsoft confirmed the Family Pack is coming, but neglected to give a price.

If the leaked price is true, the Family Pack will be a significant discount from the standard price, which is $100 USD per license.

And, will it be 1/2 price for pre-sale upgrade like the single licenses are?

Heres a thought 90/140$(home/premium) a winXP/vista upgrade and 15/200(home/premium) bucks outright for 3 pc keys, then 60$ for a key by itself, MS you would print money hand over fist instead of the normal and weak anal diving of this BS....

Of course, what this article fails to mention is that this is the "upgrade" version. This time, though, there doesn't sound like there will be too much of a difference.
