This week enthusiasts started buzzing over wording in the license agreement in the test build that suggests Microsoft will have an option to buy a license for Windows 7 that covers up to three PCs in the same household.

According to blogger Kristan Kenney, the license agreement included with the recently leaked version states that "if you are a 'Qualified Family Pack User', you may install one copy of the software marked as 'Family Pack' on three computers in your household for use by people who reside there."
Microsoft would neither confirm nor deny that it plans to offer the family pack
Why, oh why can't Microsoft just do things in a good old fashioned way. Why all the air of mystery on pricing? They must have already worked out their pricing strategy, probably months, if not years, ago. Why do they insist in releasing information in dribs and drabs?
