Would be great if we got the same pre-order discount the US got.

Having said that, my conspiracy theory is that the pre-order is meant to be limited, it will sell out quickly and MS will announce with the huge success of the Pre-order program, they have decided to make it pertinent or at least greatly extended!

Everything sounds great about the Windows 7 bar the price! Bring it down to $100 and I will probably upgrade my two Vista boxes!

hi Jeffa

Looks like you might have been scooped on the AU pricing.

If that is accurate then there will be a few justifiably upset people. The price difference between the AU and the US pricing is not a fair comparison IMHO - particularly the stepping between the upgrades and the full versions - the price difference steps in the different versions translate horribly.

Please tell me that the figures quoted are wrong.. please please.. :)

cheers
