The Windows 7 pre-order phase has been quite messy especially in Europe. The bargain offers that Microsoft promised did not cut it for most users as they were never able to grab a Windows 7 copy at the reduced prices. The UK seems to be an exception to the rule as Amazon is currently running yet another tempting offer for all Windows 7 editions that are on sale at the shop. Amazon UK has dropped the prices for Windows 7 full editions to a price that can only be described as a bargain. But look for yourself:
Windows 7 Home Premium full: £64.68 instead of £149.99
Windows 7 Professional full: £148.00 instead of £219.99
Windows 7 Ultimate full: £159.98 instead of £229.99
Especially the price for the Home Premium version is more than tempting. Something that users from other European countries should take into account as well as they can order at the UK website of Amazon without problems or the fear of paying taxes for the purchase.
The upgrade editions of Windows 7 have also been reduced in price although not by such a large margin:
Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade: £64.99 instead of £79.99
Windows 7 Professional upgrade: £149.98 instead of £189.99
Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade: £157.16 instead of £199.99
This makes the Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional full editions cheaper than the upgrade editions. The prices are surely not going to stay that low forever. Users who have missed previous bargains might want to consider ordering those versions before the offer expires.
