Doesn't Technet get you a fair few keys for pretty much the entire catalogue.

For evaluation purposes, obviously.

2 or 3 I think

And Technet doesnt give you MSDN stuff like visual studio which is VERY expensive

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY much.

Although it should be free and open source.

When MS [LIFTED] up the technet pilot thingy I think I managed to generate about seven keys for Vista Ultimate in the end. I only wanted one. :roll:

I'm not using now though, think that machine has been through endless reinstalls since.

Right, crunch time folks. It's just over a week until launch and my pre-order status at PCW says:

1 Microsoft Professional Full Version Windows 7 1 £99.99

So do we think I'm going to be getting a retail, boxed, full version of Windows which can be installed from scratch on a freshly formatted drive? Just wanna be sure at this stage, as Scan are offering Home Premium for £65. Did anyone else pre-order from PCW?

Yes and yes to your questions. Though my order is for £10 less
