    I have mine too. Windows 7 professional. I actually believe in this OS.

    Methinks Patrick must be having some money problems lately, between bitching about OS upgrade pricing and ad-removal pricing. :p

    The preorder for professional is revised to 189.99 quid and not 89.99 :-(

    Got mine. Amazon were out of pre-orders after only one day, as were Tesco Direct. I got mine from Dixons of all places!

    Can't refuse a whole new OS for £44.97, makes it incredibly cheap over its lifetime. I imagine that many, many of the Windows XP pirates will not be able to refuse such an enticing price, so Microsoft know exactly what they're doing!

    Is it possible to preorder an Ultimate Edition with a nice discount?
    I really want an Ultimate Edition, but it seems that it is not available for preorder.

    There is no ultimate edition pre-order, nor discount. Is there any reason why you want Ultimate? It's pretty useless. Do you need disk or USB encryption that badly? Those are the only "major" advantages it has over Professional.

    Do you have a link to a feature comparison between the different editions?

    tbh, it looks like i'd be fine with home, as long as I threw vnc on all my machines. Any other dealbreakers that are in pro but not home?

    XP Mode (single-window XP virtualization) is on Pro, but not Home.

    Thanks!

    XP mode in it's current implementation is terrible. I assume it'll get better, but even so I can just use VPC07 (which doesn't require a hardware virtualization-capable processor) for the _one_ program i have that doesn't run on 7.
