Microsoft have also announced that a limited pre-order facility will be available at some stage throughout today (June 26th).

For existing XP and Vista customers, the upgrade sum of:

  • $119.99 – Home Premium

Anyone wishing to pre-order the new operating system will pay:

As manufacturer’s did with Vista, you will find that companies such as Sony, Acer and HP will be offering free upgrades from Vista, to the new Windows 7 for any systems sold on 27th June 2009 onwards.
