Microsoft pulled the E version of Windows 7 at the end of last month and customers in Europe will now get the same version of Windows 7 as the rest of the world, but will be presented with a ballot screen to choose their default browser.

Microsoft will be honouring the lower price for Windows 7 for a few more days until September 1st, after which European users will have to pay a higher price for the upgrade or full version:

Customers can also wait for September 1^st, 2009 when they will have a choice of an upgrade or full version of Windows 7 at separate pricing. So essentially if you’re in Europe, you will have the product and pricing options available on a worldwide basis as of September 1st through the Microsoft Store and our retail partners.

So, if you live in Europe and you haven’t made your Windows 7 pre-order yet, now is the time to do so.

There is NO discount in Sweden. It's not even possible to preorder it unless you bought a computer with Vista or a retail copy of Vista after July 26th, in which you will get it only for the cost of shipping. Those who bought Vista at launch or before July 26th are basically screwed.

I have pre-ordered my copy of win7 and have been assured through what I have read that I will be presented with the full version as apposed to the upgrade. This is good for me as I have built my machine from scratch and have only run 7 on it. (beta and rc).

However, what I am trying to find out is which version you will get if you pre-order now? Will it still be the full version or just the upgrade package?

as long as you pre-order Windows 7 before 1/9 you will get the full version for the price of the 'E' version

I've pre-ordered windows 7 home premium E version from the UK (July 30th) from amazon UK. I would like to do an in-place upgrade from my vista (service pack 2) laptop to windows 7 rather than a clean install. Is that still possible from this full version disc? If the in-place upgrade doesn't work as well, will I then be able to do a clean install instead on the same computer using the same disc and windows key?
