Meanwhile in a strange turn of events, Europe is going to be getting an even better pre-order deal. Microsoft has been having legal issues in the region, most recently with regard to Internet Explorer, so this may be an attempt to placate the European Commission. Pre-orders there will be for the full versions, and will be priced at roughly €49.99 ($70) and €109.99 ($154) respectively for Home Premium and Professional, with prices likely varying some between countries. This may end up being the cheapest way to get a full version of Win7 at the moment, depending on one's ability to find a participating retailer that will ship to North America, and what those shipping charges will be alongside Customs fees and taxes.

MWAHAHA!

My stance is wait and see. I'll let the others be my guinea pig.

While retailers such as newegg have sold out pre-orders (at least for home premium) store.microsoft was an easy transaction. 49$ and the card won't be charged untill the d/l or shipping is on, Oct.22. Early bird gets the worm.
You want to wait and see - well knock yourself out and pay more later for all it matters. There realy isn't anything exlusive anymore except different continents and or countries have different groups of whinning liberals that expect to be appeased, anti-trust sad @ss litigation. They don't like it? Awwww, - go buy a Mac.
