| Evidence Emerges Of Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack
|
Those with decent memories will recall that just before Vista launched Microsoft announced a “Family Pack” deal for those who bought Ultimate: two additional copies of Home Premium for a lower price. Here’s what Ed Bott found embedded in the the license folder in the latest leaked builds of Windows 7: b) Family Pack. If you are a “Qualified Family Pack User”, you may install one copy of the software marked as “Family Pack” on three computers in your household for use by people who reside there. These computers are the “licensed computers” and are subject to these license terms. This would be a nice deal, but speaking of nice deals, how about a deal for Windows Vista Ultimate owners, who were suckered, er, convinced to buy an OS with promises of all these Extras which turned out to be largely worthless. While you can buy a Windows 7 Professional version for your PC, you’d have to do a fresh install and basically “downgrade” your PC. Personally, I’m not interested in spending the full amount for an Ultimate upgrade, and will deal with a downgrade. |
