Will Family Pack Beat 50% OFF Deal? Unlikely.
Consider that the license terms may be leftovers from Vista and may not be final yet. Maybe there WILL NOT BE a family pack, and maybe there WILL BE one.

Regardless, the family pack option (if available) may discount 3 copies of Windows 7, but I doubt it will be a 50% discount. If it costs over $150, then the early buyers of 3 copies have beat that deal anyway and have nothing to complain about do they?
