Yesterday, Microsoft’s Windows Communications Manager Brandon LeBlanc wrote a blog entry that put emphasis on Windows 7 release dates and availability options for partners and OEMs, business customers, IT professionals, developers, and basically anyone else who has interest or affiliations with the new operating system.

One of the particular aspects of availability that he pointed out was the confirmation of a Windows 7 “Family Pack.” For the past few months, there have been rumors and speculation for something like this, which has been encouraged by developers and beta testers as a means to upgrade multiple PCs at a discounted rate.

The Family Pack will allow an upgrade installation of the highly functional Windows 7 Home Premium on up to three PCs for a single price of $149.99. Take note of the word “upgrade,” meaning that the systems will have had to be equipped with at least XP Home or Vista Home Premium in order to qualify. The guys over at FadFusion have already listed the pack on their site for $138.99 for those interested early.

All in all, the Windows 7 Family Pack saves users around $210 worth of additional costs in buying three separate Home Premium Upgrade DVDs.
