Section: Computers , Software / Applications When Microsoft first launched Windows 7, it sold a limited number of Family Packs for the OS.? The Family Packs have since been long sold-out, but now Microsoft is bringing them back, but again only for a limited run. The Windows 7 Family Pack gives you three licenses to put on as many computers.? The one catch is that the package only gives your three upgrades to WIndows 7 Home Premium, meaning you have to have XP or Vista installed on a computer to upgrade them.? You can’t use the Family Pack on a completely fresh computer, which is a shame, but can be easily worked around by just installing an older OS on the box first. The Family Pack will be available again on October 3 at retailers and online at the Microsoft Store.? Again, like last time, this is a limited time thing, it would seem.? Once their sold out, we don’t know when Microsoft will bring the bundle out again.? It would seem to make sense that Microsoft would keep the package around for those who want it, it is the best deal on the OS it would seem, and there would be a lot of people who want it.? Although, by only offering it for a limited time, and not saying how long that time period is, it is possible it could drive up sales and adoption of Windows 7.? Despite the fact that more people are using 7 over Vista, Microsoft still needs to get people off of XP and onto 7, and offering a good deal for a short period of time is a good way to drive up that demand

HTML5 is under development as the next major revision of lingua franca of the Web, HTML or hypertext markup language. Spil Games is hoping to sway developers to the HTML5 cause — and away from rival platforms such as Adobe Flash — by holding a contest that will award $50,000 to the winning developers. The contest will run for six months, and the winners will have their games posted on Spil Games’ sites.
