Windows 7 limited time upgrade discount starting tomorrow (June 26th)
Darwin:
Crap - not available from the Canadian store yet (and I can't order through the US site - they check your "zip" code to calculate taxes and I don't have one!). Guess I'll try again mid next week.
Hirudin:
Whoa, apparently they "ran out" of discounted pre-sales in Japan!

Innuendo:
I assume that "this is 'just a do it to be safe suggestion'" was meant to read 'this is not 'just a do it to be safe'"?-Darwin

Do you get the impression it might be a marketting scam - only 3 copies available and they can say they sold out in less than 5 minutes ...
Hirudin:
I didn't think so, and the Engadget blurb suggested it was legit by saying...
While no numbers are given, the 17 retailers involved in the pre-order sales, who presumably have no vested interest in trying to inflate perceptions on behalf of Microsoft, report sales as "considerable"...

The Engadget story has been updated...
Update: Engadget Japanese tells us that the 30,000 copies were sold according to Microsoft.
