Just a quick notification to let you know that if you were planning to get Microsoft’s brilliant pre-order offer from Amazon, you’ve missed your chance on the £50 offer.

Sadly, I noticed yesterday that Amazon has now amended the price to just under £75, which is a big blow.

Obviously the cheap pre-order stock was going a bit quicker than Microsoft and Amazon expected.

Ah well, Microsoft will have to wait for my purchase of Windows 7. I was really hoping I could get it for £50 from Amazon, but £75 is too much at the moment.

For now, I’m quite happy to be on Vista. I know, even if I’d pre-ordered I would have had to wait until October 22nd – but it doesn’t look like I’ll have my copy of Windows 7 on launch day anyway.
