This is what Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack looks like.
Last week we learned that the Windows 7 Home Premium family pack will be priced at $149.99. The family pack will include three licenses of Windows 7 Home Premium for installation in a single household – a definite deal when considering that a single license will go for $119.99.
The regular Home Premium box will be green, the Professional box will be blue, and the Ultimate box will be black. But what about the Family Pack? Feast your eyes on this:

For those of you with multiple PCs, this seems to be the SKU to get, unless if OEM pricing somehow manages to be below $50 each.

LEMME GET ONE!
The family box pricing is impressive indeed. When software is priced within a range I can afford and feels reasonable I purchase it and do NOT pirate.
I think if PC games were $10-20 a pop I'd buy all the ones I think look good. When the companies make them so expensive and people realize the'll play 10-20 hours of a game it's just not worth $60 to them so they pirate it. If I had to pay $110 per computer at my home for Win7 I'd say screw it, but $150 for 3 copies is reasonable.
Take the hint software, music and movie companies. If you just lower your prices MORE people will buy and offset the lower cost per piece with more volume and you'll probably make MORE money. No one wants to pirate, but if you can't afford it then what?
Green? Either you're color vision isn't great, or your monitor needs major adjustment. Unless of course you're trying to suggest it is "green" by only having one package for three computers...

Wasn't there a previous discussion on which previous Windows can be upgraded to Win7? As far as I can recall, MS (or could be someone else) said that you can directly upgrade from Vista to Win7 without format, but Win7 is also available for XP user with an extra step of doing a HDD format + "clean install". Did anyone else read about this?
