Pre-Order Windows 7 Now = 50% Discount

Monday June 29, 2009

The Windows 7 "Pre-Sale" or "Pre-Order" is on now until July 11th. The prices for these products are heavily discounted and a tremendous value. I encourage anyone who wants Windows 7 to buy it now. The price will probably never be lower and you will be among the first users to get it, delivered directly to your front door.

Both the Home and Business versions are included in this promotion. Windows 7 Home Premium is $49.99; Business is $99.99. The difference between these two versions is that the Business version also contains software for Windows XP Mode (which may or may not work on your PC anyway), Domain Join and Automatic Backup. Whether or not these features are important, depends on you.

There are many retailers involved in this sale. I ordered my copy from my Internet Retailer fav Amazon.com because I love the store, its free shipping and no sales tax advantage.
