Administrator DKT27 Posted October 20, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 20, 2009 Windows 7 delivered early to U.K. customersSome lucky Brits received their pre-ordered copy of Windows 7 earlier today -- several days before it goes on sale -- proving that there is at least one good thing to result from postal strikes.One excited CNET UK reader -- Tom Brown, from Hertfordshire -- dropped us a line earlier this evening to express his delight that he had come home to a package from PC World. It was his copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, which he pre-ordered a couple of months ago.Naturally, he was confused. "[PC World] sent me an email saying that Windows 7 would not leave their warehouse until the 21 October -- a day before the official release," he told us in an email.Blame the postmanThe reason appears to be the looming threat of industrial action at Royal Mail. CNET UK understands Microsoft has agreed to allow certain retailers in the UK to send out copies of Windows 7 early, to avoid delivery delays resulting from Postman Pat staying at home to grumble over his wages.So if you came home to a shiny disc in a box today, kiss the next postman you see. Because of his potential refusal to work, you got Windows 7 before the rest of the world. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
