    i just pre-ordered Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade edition x2,

    with relase date delivery it cost me $US107.95 wich equals $AU133.56

    thats a massive saving for me in oz as it would have costed $AU400 for two copies here so all i have to pay for know is the shipping from my US 'contacts' address who lives in New Jersey. hopefully it wont cost too much...

    the only scary thing is that its not charged to my(mums) account untill it ships so hopefully the exchange rate gets a little closer rather than a little further by then.

    omg i cant wait until like i dunno Dec 1st or something like that so i can get my nice new windows 7

    hehe, hope it all goes off without a hitch.

    P.S. can anyone confirm that the US version will work exactly the same as the AUSSIE version? (and yes we are getting IE8 as australia is not in Europe... lol read a map)
