Microsoft Blacklists Leaked Windows 7 OEM Key, Unveils Family Pack Pricing

jmke · 2nd August 2009, 15:59

Microsoft unveiled its Anytime upgrade plan and its much anticipated Family Pack pricing. The family pack will be offered at release on October 22 and will include three licenses of Windows Home Premium. The total price is $149.99, or $49.99 per license -- the same as the pre-order but no time limit. The obvious limitation is that you have to purchase three licenses to get the discount, but considering you save $200 that seems a fair bargain. Microsoft says it’s a thank you to all the hard work the public did beta testing the product.

Meanwhile the upgrade program -- offered in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US -- will allow for cheaper upgrades. Moving from the Windows 7 Starter edition to Windows Home Premium will only cost $79.99 (normally $99.99 for Home Premium upgrade), moving from Home Premium to Professional will cost $89.99 (normally $199.99), and from Home Premium to Ultimate will cost $139.99 (normally $219.99).
