"We expect to make in the future, other attractive offers,” representative said Microsoft. "But this time we have nothing to announce."

Not surprisingly, that the family set was very unpopular. Now, in the license agreement Windows 7 makes no mention of any criteria such as ownership of Ultimate.

Remember that prices are for the United States, and in the markets of other countries may be quite different ratio. By the way, according to unconfirmed reports, the lowest price for Windows 7 will be in China.
