Wow, I had heard about pre-release sales, but I didn't think you could actually get the software until Oct. 22nd. So this stuff in the UK is on sale now and you can pick up and install the final RTM version?

I wonder if they will be doing this in North America?

The folks who signed up for the half price deal haven't got the software yet.
They have to wait until general release day.

They paid approx half price so that was the draw to get em paying up early.
Deal is over now.
