Windows 7 Family Pack Making a Comeback

One of the most popular purchasing options to get Windows 7 is going to be available once again beginning 03 October 2010.

The announcement was made by early this morning by Ashley Brown (@WinAshBrown) at the Windows Team Blog:

Starting October 3 in the U.S., Windows 7 Family Pack will be available for purchase at participating retailers and online at the Microsoft Store. Purchasing the Windows 7 Family Pack gives you three upgrade licenses of Windows 7 Home Premium for the low price of $149.99. To take advantage of Family Pack, you’ll need a PC running a genuine copy of either Windows Vista or Windows XP that is capable of running Windows 7. The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor can tell you which features and editions of Windows 7 will run on your computer(s).

For those of you who don’t live in the U.S., Family Pack may be coming your way too. It goes on sale in Canada, UK, Germany, France, Australia and many other markets on or after Oct. 22 (Windows 7’s 1 year anniversary!)

Nice to see this is not just a US offer as well – nice job Microsoft and what a great anniversary gift!
