Residents in the following 13 countries will be able to purchase the upgrade from Microsoft online directly within Windows 7: Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US. Once Windows 7 hits general availability on October 22, 2009, WAU retail packages will be available for three upgrade paths: Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Home Premium ($79.99), Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional ($89.99), and Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate ($139.99). Microsoft today also revealed details for Windows Anytime Upgrade (WAU), which allows you to upgrade your copy of Windows 7 to a higher edition by buying a license. Three weeks later, Microsoft confirmed the existence of the three-computer Family Pack but refused to disclose when the pack would become available or how much it would go for. The Windows 7 Family Pack was first revealed early this month when an extra clause was noticed in the Microsoft Software License Terms for the Home Premium edition of a leaked Windows 7 build, and not in other editions like Professional and Ultimate. The Windows 7 Family Pack will be available on October 22, 2009, the day of general availability date of Windows 7, until supplies last in the US and other select markets. A Microsoft spokesperson told Ars the company didn't have pricing details for any country other than the US and Canada. Microsoft today announced that the Family Pack for Windows 7, which allows you to upgrade three PCs to Windows 7 Home Premium, will cost $149.99 in the US ($199.99 in Canada), which is a savings of about $200 for the three upgrade licenses.
