Microsoft bringing back three-license Windows 7 Family Pack
Don't fret! Assuming you didn't already go out and buy three licenses for your machines, you're going to get a second shot at the Pack. Yes, Microsoft is bringing back the Windows 7 Family Pack to celebrate the first anniversary of the Windows 7 launch on October 22nd.
Better news: this time, the deal will be available outside the U.S. as well. The lucky countries include Canada, the U.K., France, Germany, and Australia. Microsoft is leaving the door open a bit; other countries may still be added to the list.
As before, it's going to be a limited run, so make sure you grab a Pack as soon as you can.

Can these be on-site upgraded as well? Just wondering if I want to upgrade to Pro at some time if these 3-pack home versions can be upgraded.

Isn't this too little too late? I assume anyone with that many computers has simply pirated windows 7 by now instead of paying previous prices.

Not that it really matters but for accuracy Canada had the bundle last time, don't know if that is true for the countries.

I will be getting this when my current Windows 7 Ultimate keys are used up. Or simply pick it up just in case it's a one time deal. Pricing an operating system at an rather affordable range, and I can put it on 3 PCs. I eventually plan on assembling a media based computer for my mom and make a back up for her and this will make it worth it.

All I can say is "It's about damn time!"... then I read "limited run". I think we need to keep this, and extend it to 7 Pro and Ultimate. I love running Windows 7 Pro, and I really need to upgrade a couple other computers in the house (plus, I need to wipe a laptop and load 7 Pro on it, but don't have a spare license lying around).
