Its arrived everyone, the inevitable. Microsoft’s latest OS update in the last three years, how many of you have been looking forward to it? Microsoft has just held an event where Windows 7 officially gets on the way. For those thinking of making the update, you must be aware that there is no support for direct upgrade from Windows XP, only Windows Vista.

If you’re in the UK, you might also like to find out the pricing because XP users will need to buy the full version while Vista users only need to go for an upgrade version. Full version of the Windows 7 ranges from £149.99 to £229.99, while upgrades will cost £79.99 to £199.99. Windows 7 is now available in Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate versions.
