| Sorry I meant manufacturer not manufacturing.
I was in the process of editing my post when you replied to say I pre-ordered Win7 Pro from Microsofts site for $99 w/ the ship it to me option when available.
Thanks.

Puerto Rico | I ordered mine through Amazon with no tax and it will go to my post office box. I tried New Egg but there is a tax and no PO box delivery.

I order 3 Home-Premiums from Amazon and was now debating whether to keep that order, or just pony up the extra dough and get a TechNet subscription which I could use to study MS s/w for work???

I thought about ordering it from Amazon but decided if there was a problem with the disc or the license I would rather deal directly with MS then Amazon & MS.
Figured it was worth the tax and shipping cost which was minimal. I have never had an issue with Amazon yet (fingers crossed) but would hate the first time be a Win 7 issue and having to mess with Amazon return policy.

I went back the the online Microsoft store and canceled the order for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit full version and went and reordered it threw Amazon. I know that Amazon delivers to a PO Box. |

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon.com
»www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows···ade%2064
Delivered on the release date (Oct 22nd). Total around $56. Any idea if this is a 64 bit version or not? |

When you buy any edition of Windows 7 full or upgrade in the box you get two DVD disc's one is the 32-bit and the other being the 64-bit. It was that way for Windows Vista as well. |

I ordered two copies of Home Premium from TigerDirect, and the Bing Cashback will pay for my shipping... not a bad deal, and all you have to do is register and claim the reward.

So will you not be able to do a clean install of 7 with this version? Looks like the upgrade version. Is there some workaround to install it on a clean HD? |

I was wondering the same thing Swingerhead. All I can see at that price point is the Upgrade versions. If not, please let me know how I can get my hands on the full version for that price!! |

Ok so I'm running Windows 7 RC that was released to the public. If I get the upgrade to WIndows 7 I won't have to do a complete reinstall right?
