Uhm... 2 questions...

1. Can the E versions be installed on computers on a clean setup. As in, on computers that don't have a previous version of windows?
2. What online retailers ship to the US?

What happened to them not getting it at all because of their union complaining about internet explorer coming preinstalled? Might as well just give Europe everything they ask for.

... those going from Vista to 7 will have to do a clean install no matter what due to the EU decision around IE8.

FALSE, EU have not ruled anything. The correct sentence is:

... those going from Vista to 7 will have to do a clean install no matter what due to the MS decision around IE8.

Currently there are no plans to do this in Australia. You need to wait until it is officially released here, then you can pick up the upgrade of Home Premium for a nice $199...
