Windows 7 Upgrade 50% off
I'm sure everyone already knows, but some don't and there has not been a thread about this.
http://www.microsoft.com/canada/wind...pre-order.aspx
Pre-order to get your Windows 7 upgrade for only $65 for Home Premium.
US gets it for $50. pfft.
I'd love to upgrade from my Vista Home Premium, but do I really NEED to upgrade? 
Enjoy.

Do you need to upgrade ? Probably not ... Windows 7 isn't a whole lot different from Vista.
Should you upgrade ? Yes ... Windows 7 will be better supported than Vista in the years to come. If you plan to keep your computer for more than another year, it's definitely worth the $65.

Step 1: Make friend who works at Microsoft.
Step 2: Ask him/her to buy you a copy.

I thought everyone and his dog does that for EA games too..

Those who want to take advantage of pre-order of windows 7 from future shop better do so now with the $10 off.
Items in cart over $39 qualifies for FREE SHIPPING.
AND, you don't have to pay till your item ships, unlike Staples where you pay upon checkout.
Plus, you still get a full refund should you decide to return it instore.
I pre-ordered, but may cancel if I decide I do not want it.
From 400 copies to 280 in less than an hour.
