Microsoft will price a multi-license "family pack" for Windows 7 at $149.99, according to at least one online retailer that has posted pricing details prematurely.



Fadfusion.com, a Missouri-based online seller of computers, electronics and office supplies, lists something called "W7 Family Pack - Home Prem Upg" on its site for $138.99, an $11 discount from the $149.99 it claims is the package's suggested retail price.

The software, which will purportedly let users upgrade as many as three PCs in a single household to Windows 7 Home Premium, is listed as "discontinued" by Fadfusion.


At $149.99, the Family Pack would save a buyer $210 over three separate Home Premium...

Very interesting It's a shame they don't have this on the pre-order offer (but that would be a bit too generous ).

Is the family pack only available from Oct 22nd? I can't see it to buy anywhere, but I'd like to get this on pre-order if possible. I need exactly 3 licenses for the computers in my house, so this is just what I need.

Anyone know?
