I HATE that bloated MS Word HTML output, it causes me problems all the time in our CMS.

Now updated with places well be able to order from.

Ebuyer for me I think. Might get a nice new external drive at the same time, filled up 800g of my 1tb external drive in 6 months - impressive considering I can only download at 200kbps.

As it states on the site, the Euro version doesnt come with a web browser so make sure you have one on a USB stick, DVD, etc before installing.

So its up on Amazon but not Ebuyer it seems atm. Amazon seems to have knocked £5-10 off of the discounted price depending on the version.

Will be good to see who orders what from where so we can get the best prices.

Ive just placed my order from Amazon. Seems to be no distinct 32/64 bit versions so Ill assume they are all on the same DVD

How do I get a 64-bit copy of Windows 7?

The Upgrade and Full packaged retail product of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Ultimate will come with both 32-bit and 64-bit DVDs. With Windows Vista, the 64-bit version was only available with Windows Vista Ultimate. Due to the incredible adoption of 64-bit today and customer feedback, we decided to change this for Windows 7. Now all copies of Windows 7 in developed markets will ship with both 32-bit and 64-bit DVDs.

Hmmm. Im still torn between Home Premium and Pro.

I suppose I may as well go with Home Premium for now and then use the Anytime Upgrade thing to update it if the extra features are ever needed.

I have 64bit Home Premium Vista....?

Think Ill order from Amazon later on, will give Ebuyer a chance to list it to see if they can cut the price at all.

Placed my order with Amazon this morning. I wonder if theyll honour all pre-orders?

I can see it coming to release date and us not getting it at £50

They should honour it seeing as its a Microsoft instigated offer.
