Australian prices also tend to the high side. Full licences will be $A299, $A449 and $A469, which convert to $US241.49, $US362.63 and $378.79.

Upgrade prices will be much closer to their US equivalents at $A199, $A399 and $A429, or $US160.72, $US322.25 and $US346.48.

Microsoft has also announced that customers in the US, Canada, Japan, UK, France and Germany will have a limited opportunity to pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium or Pro at a substantial discount through participating retailers.

For example, US pre-order pricing for Home Premium will be $US49.99, compared with the normal $US119.99.

The US/Canada and Japan pre-order period opened last Friday; the scheme will begin in the named European countries on July 15.

The deal is 'while stocks last', and in any case orders must be placed by July 5 (Japan), July 11 (US/Canada) and August 14 (UK, France, Germany).

There's no mention of pre-oder pricing for Australian customers.
