Windows 7 Family Pack

**Ian** · Ian's Computer Specs

Alongside the RTM release date information (already posted here), the Windows Team Blog also confirms the existance of the long rumoured 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.

The rest of the blog post is worth a read too:

As soon as any more info appears, I will post it here.

"...family pack of Windows 7 Home Premium (in select markets) which will allow installation on up to 3 PCs...."

Pricing information conspicuously missing from that blog post.

I'd bet it's going to be full price of whatever version you're looking for x3. No deal to speak of.

But I lose most bets I make so if you wanna make some EZ cash, now's yer time.

My bet would be there will be a discount, but it wont be much of a discount.

Some leaked info suggests that it could be $150 for Home Premium upgrade edition:

Microsoft Corp. 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.

That's not bad at all. Rather good for the multi-computer household, I'd say.

After all, a family that surfs for porn together, stays together.
