Newegg Is cheaper for all us suckers who live in WA. So thanks for the link.
Microsoft said:Whichever system you choose, Windows 7 is ready. All packaged retail editions of Windows 7 (except for Home Basic) include both 32- and 64-bit software.
I must be missing this, but is it 64 bit or 32 bit? I would love if it were mixed, but I doubt it.
One such special offer, the Windows 7 Family Pack, consists of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade media Setup discs and a single product key which can be used to activate three copies of the OS on three different PCs. The Family Pack costs $150, or just $30 more than a single copy of Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade. It's kind of a no-brainer. But rememeber what you're getting there: The Family Pack comes with Upgrade, not Full, product keys.
So it says upgrade version, but you can technically use those to full install correct? For example a newly built computer, you can full install right? Or if you have XP on a computer, you can full install windows 7 onto it?
guess u didnt read the link i posted above. fwiw, my fam pack activated from clean install without any registry tweak nor double install.it drives me crazy that these are all upgrade versions. if these were normal installs I would have bought the famiy pack already. since they are upgrades I am still on the fence. I know you can do the double install to get around that, however that just wastes time and is not a hoop people should have to jump through.

yesSo is this marketed towards people who have multiple XP/Vista PCs to upgrade to 7?

so if you can use upgrade versions of win7 for clean installs, what is the point of the more expensive full versions?

In for 1.
The first few times I did a clean install of Win7 upgrade without an issue. A few weeks ago when I attempted it on a new drive, it reported my key as invalid. I called MS and they quickly verified and activated my key over the phone. The rep I spoke with told me that due to customer demand, MS now supports clean upgrade installs and will provide phone activation for this method.
