Microsoft Windows 7 Packaging
Microsoft has just published the pricing for Windows 7. You can upgrade from Windows XP or Vista, or buy the full retail version. Here are the prices:
Windows 7 Home Premium: $119.99 UPGRADE or $199.99 FULL VERSION
Windows 7 Professional: $199.99 UPGRADE or $299.99 FULL VERSION
Windows 7 Ultimate: $219.99 UPGRADE or $319.99 FULL VERSION
However, you can pre-order Windows 7 for just $49.99 or $99.99 for Home Premium or Professional, respectively.
In Europe, we’re a little less lucky. Here are our local prices:
Windows 7 Home Premium: £80
Windows 7 Professional: £190
Windows 7 Ultimate: £200
For us, the “upgrades” are actually the same as the full retail versions. However, these prices are only until 1 January 2010, and after that, they will be bumped up to cost:
Windows 7 Home Premium: £150
Windows 7 Professional: £220
Windows 7 Ultimate: £230
Luckily though, we too can pre-order our copies of Windows 7 from 15 July 2009 for £49 for Windows 7 Home Premium E and £99 for Windows 7 Professional E. The “E” stands for “no Internet Explorer”, as requested by EU regulators.

Unfortunately, it’s also expected to cost around £100 when it first becomes available for sale.

Microsoft Windows 7 Packaging
Microsoft is doing everything to push the new Windows 7 far beyond Windows Vista ever made it. Today they’ve unveiled the packaging Windows 7 will ship in. They’ve apparently increased the economic value by 50%, by ensuring that the packaging is 37% lighter than that of Vista, and it includes just the disc, the plastic box, a cover sleeve, and a basic Getting Started Guide.
View the Ars Technica article with a photo of inside the packaging.

HP Mini 5101 Netbook
All computer manufacturers seem to be producing netbooks at the moment, but none of them seem to have a real-laptop-like feel to them suitable for the mobile professional. Cue HP’s new Mini 5101. This new netbook will be available to consumers starting in the US in July for $449, with the usual expected specs, with a 10.1″ screen and 2MP webcam.

Belkin Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit
Yesterday morning Belkin published a press release detailing a new product that allows consumers to transform their home electrical power lines into an Internet network. Similar products already exist on the market, but currently they can only achieve up to 200 Mbps speeds. The “Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit” is the first product on the market that allows speeds up to 1000 Mbps.
The Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit has been made available in the US for $149.99, and will be available in Europe from the beginning of August 2009, with local pricing yet to be confirmed.
The way the product works is by connecting a “modem” to the power outlet which transmits your internet connection to your power lines. An adaptor is then plugged into the end location where you wish to use the internet connection. A sample setup would be to have the main modem where the internet line comes into the property and then to have an adaptor downstairs to connect devices such as a PS3 or Xbox 360. This product allows the use of a “wired” connection instead of wireless, which will improve network speed and reduce latency.
Read the official press release. Please be advised that your internet connection (broadband) will be a limiting factor to the maximum download speed from the internet.
