Windows 7 pre-order

[HereBeMonsters]

Is there a Family pack full version? I've heard that upgrading is a bit pants, and I'd like a full version to start with a blank hard disk all over again on three machines.

Received my full copy from Tesco this morning. £45 well spent

You of course mean the upgrade copy and not the full install version ?

bit annoyed that they selling the full install version for a bit less than I paid for it and still waiting for the wkers at RM to deliver it

No.

I paid £45 for the full install Home Professional copy during an offer a few months ago...came with 32 and 64 bits DVDs. Used it to up(down)grade from the Windows 7 Ultimate RC to Windows 7 Home Premium Retail.

It required me changing the registry etc...to get them compatible, but saved me many hours of reinstalling applications, settings, themes etc...and cant complain having a legal copy for £45!

Also I havn't noticed anything missing on the Home edition compared to the Ultimate that I would use either

I'm interested in the XP Mode, but it comes on Pro as well, so won't need Ultimate Has anyone used XP Mode in Windows 7? I've read some stories about it being slow / almost unuseable.. If that's the case we'll stick with Windows XP Pro for the moment..

It'll be the business networking functionality you're missing, which probably isn't an issue for you
