Microsoft confirms Windows 7 Family Pack

iulie 22 02:21 2009

Microsoft confirmed that they will be releasing a family pack for Windows 7 after weeks of rumors. The possibility of such an option was raised when a blogger noticed a clause in the EULA mentioning a family pack that contains three user licenses. This was Brandon Leblanc’s official statement regarding the Windows 7 Family Pack:

I know there have been some rumors going around about a “family pack” for Windows 7. We have heard a lot of feedback from beta testers and enthusiasts over the last 3 years that we need a better solution for homes with multiple PCs. I’m happy to confirm that we will indeed be offering a family pack of Windows 7 Home Premium (in select markets) which will allow installation on up to 3 PCs. As I’ve said before, stay tuned to our blog for more information on this and any other potential offers.

Vendors accidentally leaked Windows 7 Family Pack prices a few weeks ago, pricing the product at $136.95 US. Although nothing is final, Microsoft should be expected to price the Windows 7 Home Premium family pack no less than three discounted preorder licenses of Windows 7. Pricing it any less than that ($150 USD) would surely anger many of Microsoft’s customers who jumped on the preorders.
