Not so long ago, Microsoft officially confirmed the design of the boxes with the operating system, Windows 7, which will be used for retail sales of the new OS.

Specialist Public Relations Microsoft Brandon Leblanc (Brandon LeBlanc) on a blog dedicated to Windows 7, said that as the operating system, disc packaging easier than packing Windows Vista and has become like a pack of conventional DVD-ROM drive. In addition, when packing Windows 7 uses less packaging materials to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Weight package from installation disk Windows 7 to 37% less than the weight of the box with Windows Vista. Actually, to reduce the impact on the environment, it would be logical to sell Windows 7 in cardboard bags of potatoes from McDonalds, or even download the OS from the Internet, providing the serial number after the money transfer, so generally are not needed, but let's leave it on the conscience of the Microsoft.

Different versions of Windows 7 will have a pack of different colors that, according to the intent of the designers, retailers, and helps users to orient themselves in the new OS versions. Inside the package are a disk and a brief guide to install Windows 7. The price of the new versions of the operating system does not Leblanc said.
