Pre orders are now available for windows 7. Windows 7 is the latest operating system from Microsoft and is a huge step up from the hugely criticised windows vista. For a limited period pre orders are available at a discount making the home premium edition £44.97 from amazon and the professional edition £89.97

In a good move as well you no longer have to choose whether you want 32 bit or 64 bit discs as both are included.

We’ve been running the release candidate version for a while now and are pretty impressed with it compared to vista. European customers will need to obtain a web browser and put it on a disc or a memory stick before installing windows 7 as Microsoft have removed internet explorer from the european editions in line with competition law. There are many people who would view the absence of internet explorer in the OS as a very good thing!!

EDIT The limited price discount offer seems to have finished now. However pre orders are still available just at the full price (however with amazon and their price guarantee you will pay the lowest price between your pre-order and the release)

Carphone warehouse are now taking pre orders for the iPhone 3GS. Due to O2′s stupid upgrade strategy only new customers or people taking additional contracts (which I have to say I am considering) will be able to pre order.

Update 12/06/09 11:29 – CPW are still taking pre-orders and just e-mailed me to inform me they were (I already knew of course). Oddly pre-ordering has been open for a day now. The iPhone 3G sold out on pre-orders on CPW and O2 online in hours. Can’t imagine why this new model isn’t having the same impact
