Has anyone heard what the OEM pricing will be for full versions of Win7 (not upgrades)?

I pre-ordered the upgrade a while ago when it was $50 because it was a good deal, but have been waiting for info on full-version pricing before cancelling the pre-order, as having only the upgrade could turn out to be really annoying during re-formats.

I'm most interested in the Home x64 SKU. It should be about the same as Vista I would guess? so $100-$120? Any confirmation from anywhere?

Around $120 would be right for US. But what's the problem with the upgrade?
If you need to reformat, all you need is the legal original qualifying disk with the serial key, no need to install it, when doing clean install insert disk when prompted for previous OS, then again when prompted enter your serial key.
Save your money and let pre-order stand. Use it to buy yourself a spare hdd.

Generally each version of Windows is round about the same price, so until you know otherwise assume it'll be the same as Vista.
