Upgrade options / IE
No upgrade editions of Windows 7 E will be sold in Europe. Microsoft says this is because it would port across Internet Explorer from the previous OS and put it on shaky ground with the European Commission.
This is due to competition allegations against Microsoft, so they are no longer allowed to ship IE with their retail produts in Europe unless the manufacturer packages it with the OS.
Minimum Spec:

I for one will almost certainly be grabbing a professional version, a discount of this scale cannot be ignored, and I'm still on XP at the moment!
