Well at those prices what did they expect.

Unless the real release price will be lower than stated.

If not I think I could sell one and have one free.

I am still un-decided as to whether I want Windows 7 or not on my main machine.

My new laptop (I hope) to get from Dell will qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 7 so I may try it on there first before hand.

I don't really need it but apparently its much less resource hungry than Vista is...

Thought I'd mention I moved the Windows 7 Availability list to its own thread as I updated the availability
