01/17: Windows Vista Ultimate Family Pack
Posted by Jared
Microsoft is reportedly going to offer Windows Vista Ultimate customers two additional Windows Vista Home Premium licenses at a discount, yet to be determined. Here's Mary Jo Foley:
This is an interesting promotion, and not a bad idea for a family with a few computers in the house that might want to get an upgrade.
Sources said that Microsoft will announce some time over the next few days that the company will allow Vista Ultimate customers to purchase two additional copies of Vista Home Premium for somewhere between $50 to $99 a piece.
In order to qualify for the so-called "Family Pack" promotion, customers will first need to purchase at retail a copy of Vista Ultimate, which carries an estimated retail price of $399 U.S. The deal will not be offered to those who purchase Ultimate preloaded on a new PC, sources said; it will be for customers buying and/or upgrading via retail channels only.
