[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 947050, member: 24098"] Apparently the procedure worked for Vista too. I'm glad MS didn't do anything to thwart it. Let's face it, anyone who is intrepid enough to attempt their own Windows upgrade, has probably had older Windows versions in the past. From what I understand (and this is from the manager of Officemax), the Family Pack was released as a promotional tool and is no longer in production. So although the stores aren't allowed to take the display down (apparently there is a push from the retailers to get Microsoft to produce more), everyone is down to short supply. Amazon had it out there for $150 when it was first launched, now they only have it from their affiliated stores and the price has shot up to $200. So apparently word is getting around that this is in hot demand. Fortunately, Officemax was able to find a cache of copies in another store and had it shipped right to my house (free too!). All of that to say - if you want to get the 3 pack, better get it soon. [/QUOTE]
