@rupaa62 ... on OLD hardware?
I have installed Windows 7 on hardware from 2003 without a single driver problem. I even successfully installed Vista on a system from 2000 with only 512MB without a driver problem. Windows 7 is smart enough to revert back to generic drivers if it cannot find hardware specific drivers.
The family pack is intended for people who are upgrading multiple systems to Windows 7. The timing seems pretty obvious. One family member just got Windows 7 on new hardware and now everyone else in the family wants to upgrade as well. And why not? $50 per licenses is a steal and even at $75 each for two licenses, $150 bucks is a good deal! Only need one license? A retail upgrade license costs $120. If you are a student, you can even get a copy of Windows 7 Professional for $29.95 on-line from Microsoft. How much more of a good deal do you want?
