Microsoft has confirmed that a Windows 7 family pack will be
available that will allow multiple computers in a household to
download the operating system.
Family pack versions of Windows 7 can be installed on three
computers in a single household.
Microsoft earlier declined to comment on the
discovery reported by Canadian blogger Kristan Kenney, who
found a reference to a "family pack" in a Windows 7 Home Premium
licence agreement.
According to Kenney, the installation and use rights state, "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."
