The much awaited Microsoft Windows 7 is finally here in Singapore (and will be in rest of the world in a few hours time.) Hurray! The Vista era has finally come to an end.

Microsoft Singapore and Challenger Funan had a launch event at 12midnight on 22nd Oct. The first 177 customers gets to buy Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Edition at S$77. (Usual price is S$219) Besides Windows 7, Challenger also had product auction and hourly special at the store for all customers.

More than 200 people were in the queue. The first person to buy Windows 7 was in the queue since 3:30pm. They gave him a T-Shirt which says “I got Windows 7 before you”. Cool right?

Windows Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate (Full install) will retail at S$359, S$529 and S$549 respectively.

Haven’t got a chance to really try out Windows 7 yet. Will blog more about after I have more hands on. But one thing for sure, it will surely be better than Vista.
