A reference to a "Family Pack" of Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium was discovered in the license agreements included with a recent release candidate of the operating system. If Microsoft does release a Family Pack, you'll be able to buy several licenses of Windows 7 at a significant discount and install them on multiple computers in your home. Otherwise you would have to buy a whole new, full-priced copy of Windows for each computer.

Is this true? Well if Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack plans will be out to market I will surely get one. It will save us more and no need to buy a whole new, full-priced copy of Windows for each computer. It will make us save a lot and refrain on getting instant cash loans. Thanks for this article!
