Default [Engadget]Windows 7 breaks Amazon UK pre-order volume record, ousts Harry Potter
Quote:
Take it from us, your London-based sleuths, when anything sells faster than Harry Potter books or DVDs in the UK, it's scorching hot. Case in point is Microsoft's Vista successor, which has sold so well that it has beaten the Amazon UK pre-order record previously held by J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In fact, Windows 7 was able to tally up more sales in the first 8 hours of pre-order availability than Vista was able to collect altogether. Now that's what we call an upgrade.

Well damn! I'm even more surprised by this, "In fact, Windows 7 was able to tally up more sales in the first 8 hours of pre-order availability than Vista was able to collect altogether. Now that's what we call an upgrade."

I got Vista 7 Ultimate yesterday for $40, and so far, so good.
It seems really fluid, fast, and stable.

I am not surprised. Windows 7 has been advertised very well and alot of people tried the Beta/RC versions and they could see for themselves how well Windows 7 performed. I love it.

Lol at the title. OCN trunkates it to "Windows 7 breaks Amazon UK".

Anyway, yeah, I have used it since beta and really like it. Just got my copy of Ultimate for free yesterday at MS's developer launch event.
