Around the time of the Windows Vista launch we announced the Windows Vista Family Discount Program to further persuade families to become early adopters of Windows Vista. The program was introduced with a sunset clause that takes effect 11:59 PM Pacific Time on 30 June 2007. We've been pleased with the response to the program, which has enabled thousands of multi-computer families to upgrade more than one PC in their home to Windows Vista.

Thanks to those of you who participated and also to those who helped seed and validate the original idea.

Microsoft -> As a licensing consultant and expert, the pricing on licenses outside of the VL discounted programs (hell even inside of them) is still way too high. You keep hoping that people stop pirating software, which in turn reportadedly drives prices up, yet its pricing thats the initial culprit in all of the issues to begin with!

Why should anyone have to (or want to) pay hundreds of dollars for an OS that seriously needs a service pack before its truly useable? Not to mention the pricing program above was really terrible when you look at it.

Are there any plans to bring back the Windows Family discount program for purchasers of Windows Vista Ultimate?

Back when Windows Vista was released Microsoft responded to screaming from it's end users by allowing you to purchase two additional Vista Home Premium licenses for $50 apiece when you bought Vista Ultimate. That program ends tonight at 11:59PM...
