From tesco.

Free delivery ends wednesday!

Its the home version upgrade one but you can still do a clean install with 
it.

Couple of quirks.

1. First thing that happened was I was asked for email, password, then 
postcode. On the next page the drop down of addresses linked to that 
postcode was missing umpteen addresses incl mine. I had to go on to the next 
page and then choose `i dont have a postcode` it THEN produced a drop down 
using the correct list of addresses.

2. The discount doesnt get applied to the end so for a time it looks like 
you are getting charged £5 but just go on to the checkout where the discount 
is then applied.

Cheaper than ebay anyway!

Just ordered myself a copy in the nick of time ! Thanks.

Why do they call it an 'upgrade' version, when infact a clean install option 
is also available?!

Because the license is only valid if you use it to replace a qualifying
Windows product (probably XP or Vista in this case).

keep that handy in case you need the reg hack

theres supposed to be another way of doing it where you install it with no 
key then install again and put key in this time
