You'd be better of with a third party recovery program.

Then explain why MS's shop is showing the full price (79.99), as are Play and Amazon and Ebuyer have withdrawn it from sale?

Do you really think that means there can be no more sales from those vendors?
Guys ... I'm just trying to bring some gravity here, to what seems to be a Microsoft Win 7 feeding frenzy.
And in hind sight, a buying frenzy is exactly what MS want and need ... so far it seems to be working.
Anyway, this particular tangent is going nowhere, so I'll bow out.
Enjoy

Well, when MS's own sites say:
"Special promotional pricing is a limited time offer, while supplies last" I'm not quite sure what else we are supposed to believe?

At that special price, yes. At the regular price no, of course not. But all people have said so far is that the allocation made at the reduced, promotional price has sold out.

Re: MS Windows 7 Pre-order from £49.99
What is the 'N' version? Microsoft has the 'N' version of Pro cheaper than the 'E' version?

Pretty sure they press their copies, unless they have hundreds of monkeys lined up just press "Burn"

Can't exactly sell out of a product they can reproduce indefintely can they?
All this "while stocks last" is ********. Microsoft want to get as many Windows 7 copies out there as possible.

Its spin, trust me on this 
Just suppose, every person on this planet had a computer that could run the OS and wanted to buy it, then MS would make available enough media, CD/DVD to cover that, its the cost of the work they do on the OS they need to recover and make profit upon, once that's done its relatively easy.
I'm guessing Microsoft have the means to sell and distribute an OS to every person on the Planet, if they wanted it and if the demand was there.
Sell out ... LOL
But ... I'm closer to MS than most of you imagine ... Microsoft NEED this OS to be successful, hence the power pushing you are seeing just now.
The good news is, its a good improvement over even Vista SP2, still some annoying habits, but nothing that cant be tweaked out.
I'm looking fwd to Vista SP3 (NT6.1), ahem, Windows 7, FSX runs very well on it

Re: MS Windows 7 Pre-order from £49.99
Currently free on the MS store (see attached image)
EDIT: by the way, don't bother trying to order, it will say:
We have run out of preorder discounts. The product can only be preordered at full price.

Re: MS Windows 7 Pre-order from £49.99
