Windows 7 Pre-orders Sold Out In Japan

Microsoft always made clear that Windows 7 pre-orders were only available in limited numbers. One of these numbers seems to have been hit already as Japanese shops that tool part in the pre-ordering campaign are reporting that Windows 7 pre-orders are not available anymore. If you visit the Windows 7 pages at the Japanese Amazon store for example you will be notified that the item is currently unavailable. It seems that it took less than 2 full days to sell all available pre-order copies of Windows 7 in Japan.
It is obviously unclear as to how many copies have been provided to Japanese retailers. The same is true for the pre-order campaigns in the two other countries (USA and Canada) where pre-orders are still accepted. It could very well be that limits will be reached in these markets as well which would mean that interested customers would have to wait until October 22 to buy Windows 7 at the retail price which is about 50% of the pre-order price.
Users from Germany, France and the UK will be able to pre-order Windows 7 in the next month. Pre-order limits are unknown here as well and it is always a good idea to pre-order as soon as possible to get Windows 7 at the lowest possible price.
