Windows The Windows 7 pricing scheme thing isn't over just yet. Microsoft announced the prices for Windows 7 last week, including a limited offer with lower prices and all that. There was no mention of a family pack, but a little digging in the latest leaked build suggests that yes, there's going to be a family pack of Windows Home Premium.

I agree. In fact I've never paid to upgrade the OS on a computer; the only time I purchase an OS is for a new build.

Something else that's hard to swallow, building a budget-priced system and have the operating system be the single-most expensive item. Especially disheartening, knowing that large-scale commercial OEMs buy copies of XP for one-fifth the price that us home hobbiests are stuck with.
