Microsoft Will Offer Family Pack for Windows 7 Home Premium
Posted 07/03/09 at 05:29:22 PM by Andy Salisbury
Until now, it was assumed that Microsoft would only sell single license versions of Windows 7. But, thanks to a recent discovery in the latest license agreement, there’s some evidence suggesting otherwise.
In section two, there’s a new clause that clearly details a family pack, which will allow you to “install one copy of the software marked as ‘Family Pack’ on three computers in your household for use by people who reside there.” Which, for those keeping score, would finally let them combat Apple in this particular field.
Still, there’s no official word from Microsoft on pricing or availability, or if this is even true.

I've been buying Mac OS X family packs at $199 for 5 users for several years now. And the full version is only $129 in the first place. Heck, the next version, Snow Leopard, is a $29 upgrade to Leopard or $49 for the family version.
Even if you don't care about that OS, you've got to be thinking that it's about time M$ got with the program on pricing. Especially after all the trouble they had with Vista, they need the good press here.
Nope, still spelled wrong,

Nope, still spelled wrong, he's talking about the sentence, "If you do not know whether you are a Qualifised (sic) Family Pack User..."

New word

Actually the folks at microsoft thought that if they could get enough news outlets to run reports on this over the comming months that they can single handedly be responsible for creating a new word.
Qualifised: To meet the requirements for obtaining a multi computer license.
Hell, if web 2.0 can be a word, qualifised certainly can be one.
News or Speculation?

Is this real or just speculation? I agreewith JohnMtl that it would be more believable with proper spelling of the word QUALIFIED, but regardless, it may not apply to us here in the U.S. Or maybe the leaked license agreement is a hoax altogether. Until Microsoft puts out an offical release, I wouldn't list this as "NEWS"...
possible

It's a possibility. MS finally started allowing multiple installs of office software, so it only seems right that they would extend this to their OS. Although I don't think you should have to buy a different license, home users should just be allowed to install the OS on up to 3 machines.

the Microsoft homepage, fwiw.
Has anyone at MPC or anywhere else gotten word on this from MS? I would only call this a rumor at this point, if not a practical joke.
Would be more believeable if

Would be more believeable if "Qualified" was spelled right.....
