July 31, 2009 at 07:07:37 PM, by Daniel Shain Rating: 0 out of 5

Microsoft has announces some initial pricing information for a bundled family pack and upgrades within the Windows 7 family.

The "family pack" option allows users to upgrade three PCs to Windows 7 Home Premium for $149, as opposed to the single upgrade option from XP/Vista of $119. Pricing was also released for those who will be planning on upgrading from one version of Windows 7 to another, a process now made easier and cheaper by the Anytime Upgrade option. The discounted price to move from Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium is $79.99, and from Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional it's $89.99. To move from Professional to Ultimate is a little more at $139.99.

According to Microsoft, the upgrades should take about 10 minutes. Page:1/1

Tech words explained

"Ultraportable"
This is the smallest and lightest version of the laptop. The overall focus of this laptop is having a light weight (less than 5lb), around 1" thick or less, with 9" to 12" displays. Due to the cost of making components smaller and fitting them into tighter spaces, the price is usually more expensive, ranging from $1000 for a very basic machine to $2000+ for mid-range features. Although the Ultraportable has respectable standard performance, it is usually inadequate for any graphics-intensive programs, due to the common use of Integrated Graphics. Ultraportables usually have longer battery life (~5+ hours) due to the common usage of lower voltage processors. Other than the smaller screen and integrated graphics, the other major tradeoff usually found with Ultraportables is a lack of an optical drive. These are usually not built into the laptop to save space and weight, but instead are often provided as an external option. Ultraportables are intended for highly mobile users who need basic computing power with ultimate portability.
