I'm not 100% sure where this thread would go category wise so I put it here. Mods feel free to move it if you would like. Anyways Microsoft is offering windows 7 pre-order for 50$ from a few retailers. The 50$ copy is home premium there is also a 100$ copy which is the pro version and offers support for windows xp applications. This is like 50% off of the retail price and will only be available for the next week. If you're thinking about buying windows 7 I would recommend pre-ordering it within the next week. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat185500050009&type=category&DCMP=rdr0001870 There is the bestbuy link, that's who I went through to get the discount. They will also ship it to your door for like 3$.
