Final December, when Microsoft dropped its Windows 7 Family Pack marketing just before Christmas,
Office 2010 Professional Plus, I believed it could possibly return. I predicted Microsoft may possibly do an about-face and reintroduce it.I believed that might occur inside a few of months. It in fact took near to a 12 months for your Family members Pack to come back — and will happen right after the back-to-school PC buying rush is over.As Microsoft officials noted on September 1 on the Windows Experience blog, starting October 3 in the U.S.,
Office 2007 Professional Plus, the Family members Pack will be available via select retailers and online at the Microsoft Store for $149.99. (That;s the same price Microsoft charged for it final yr.) Under terms of the deal,
Office 2010 Sale, buyers will get three copies of Windows 7 Home Premium. Customers in Canada, UK, Germany,
Microsoft Office Professional 2007, France, Australia and other markets will be able to buy the Windows 7 Family members Pack on or after October 22, the one-year anniversary of the launch of Windows seven.As my colleague Ed Bott notes, don;t be surprised to see Microsoft end the promotion when those seemingly inexhaustible “supplies run out,
Discount Office 2007,” like they did final year.
