Microsoft has finally released the Windows 7 Family pack in Australia, but only for a limited time.

When Microsoft launched Windows 7 the US was privileged to get a family pack, which was 3 upgrade licenses for the price of one, but Australian Windows users wanted to know “why not us too?”

Well Microsoft has finally decided to release the family pack to Australians, but don’t celebrate too much, cause its only in limited supply. While the limited supply doesn’t make much sense and its clearly a response to Apple’s Family pack for Snow Leopard, it is nice to know there is acknowledgement that Windows 7 is just too damn expensive.

The Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack is $249 and will only be available at the following participating Australian retailers, while stocks last: Betta Electrical, Bing Lee, David Jones, Dick Smith, Harvey Norman, JB Hi Fi, Myer, Officeworks, Retravision, The Good Guys, WOW Sight and Sound.
