Thoughts on Windows 7 Deals

The Student Discount and the Family Pack are pretty good. The rest of the deals aren’t as impressive. It would be great if Microsoft just ran the 50% off promotion again. That was fun and it helped Windows 7 become Amazon UK’s most preordered product ever.

The HP bundle seems interesting although the other Windows 7 Deals in the US are not very compelling.
