Windows 7 Family Pack
Microsoft it’s introducing a new way of marketing for their new home operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium. This version will the optional “Family Pack”, that represents the possibility, with a small fee, to include up to 3 computers from the same house to have this operating system installed.
Basically if you buy a Windows 7 Home Premium + Family Pack, you will have licenses for 3 home computers. The specific licensing terms are:
“b. Family Pack. If you are a “Qualified Family Pack User”, you may install one copy of the software marked as “Family Pack” on three computers in your household for use by people who reside there. Those computers are the “licensed computers” and are subject to these license terms. If you do not know whether you are a Qualified Family Pack User, visit go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Linkid=141399 or contact the Microsoft affiliate serving your country.”
Actually Windows Vista included this optional feature but for a very short period of time, that apparently did not have the right impact among users; but you don’t have to be genius to figure this one out, anything that was related to Vista did not have any positive impact among users.
The pricing of Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack it’s not official, but the speculations say that would be around $189.
