Honest question: who in his sane mind pre-orders an OS???

  50% off is a pretty good incentive to do so. However, I heard a lot of people were burned when they preordered vista. And I don't just mean they paid good money for a shitty OS.

    Oh wow I didn't realise it was 50% off.

  he (or she) who wants to get their new OS as soon as it comes out. Why is this a surprise to you? People interact with the operating system all day and its exciting to be getting something faster, different, with new features.

  I did. Just like I pre-order every OpenBSD release. Windows 7 pre-order is a good value and buying now will give you the most bang for your buck over its lifetime.

  I'll be putting in a pre-order today. Windows 7 is the first release since I've graduated and been gainfully employed. I like having Windows VMs around, and I'm happy to purchase the OS now that I'm able.
