So all we need to do then is:
1. Insert the Windows 7 installation disk.
2. Folow the instructions, and it will be pretty much automatically
installed, without prompting for any other installation media.
Sorry but would like clarification so I can go ahead with the pre-order from
July 15.

The no upgrades thing is no problem to me especially as we will get the
full version as per upgrade price. Like Andrew I personally wouldn't
consider anything other than a clean install, but this is not a majority
thing though. Generally speaking this is not so big an issue for many
but the upgraders as most people will only see Wiondows 7.0 with a new
PC which will have IE or whatever browser the PC vendor has decided to
put onto the machine. This whole IE thing really relates to the boxed
retail sale market which is tiny in comparison to OEM sales with PC.
The only thing that makes it a much bigger deal this time is that there
are so many who want to get off VISTA and that will surely boost retail
boxed sales. For anybody who has XP on a machine capable of running
VISTA and is planning on the move to Windows 7.0 then it Is clean
install anyway there is no in-place upgrade route for that situation,
the same is true of tranisition from installed 32bit software to 64bit.

Hi,
Yeah I read about the E edition thing which means there is no upgrae
available, actually I am quite happy about that, I have never liked the
idea of upgrading in-place anyway, and in Vista they were trying hard to
push us down that route imho.
Andrew.

There are a variety of really weird and aggravating things going on with
Windows 7.0 in Europe mostly to do with this IE business that the EU has
kicked up about. The result of Microsoft's two fingered gesture to the
European Union, we will not get IE8 shipped with Windows 7.0 as the rest
of the world does . The result of that pre-emptive move by Microsoft is
that in technical terms there won't be upgrade versions of Windows 7.0
supplied to us in Europe because they cannot in software decouple
Internet Explorer from the existing setup of Windows as part of the
upgrade process so technically it becomes impossible for a user to do an
in place upgrade (where you have a Windows already and install of the
top to upgrade it). This is very common for non-tech users. Those who
hope they can doan in-place upgrade of XP are out of luck, it is only a
clean install situation.
The practical upshot (and possibly the silver lining) of this is that
Microsoft will make avaiable the full version of Windows 7.0 to
Europoean customes at the upgrade price. This will handily facilitate
clean install for those who prefer to to do this but you will still be
minus a browser (which would otherwise be IE8). There is also a crazy
pre-sale thing happening which starts mid-July through participating
dealers where Windows will be available for pre-order at very favourable
pricing.
The official release date by the way is October 22nd, 2009.
