Pre-Order Windows 7 NOW!
I just noticed that the Senior Lead Program Manager for the Microsoft Store, Trevin Chow, posted the following link which allows you to pre-order Windows 7 right now. I just ordered two copies myself and got the confirmation email! So beat the rush and get it now!
UPDATE: You can also order it from Amazon.com and pay no tax.

One thing I noticed was that it didn’t accept my Windows Live ID, however I just entered my email address in the create new account box and it went right through.

Is there a separate 64 bit upgrade DVD? Or did they combine 32 bit & 64 bit in the upgrade DVD? I have a Vista Home Premium x64 system that I want to keep as Win7 Home Premium x64.
Where did you get that URL? Why is PPE in the link? Are you sure this is legit?
@Tablet I can’t seem to find a 64 bit upgrade version. They might be on the same DVD, but I’m not sure.
@will I got the link straight from Trevin Chow’s website. http://trevinchow.com/blog/2009/06/25/windows-7-pre-order-available-now-on-microsoft-store/
He is the Senior Lead Program Manager for the Microsoft store, so I would except its a legit link.
@tablet I did find this tibit which might help you out.
•All editions of Windows 7 available on Microsoft Store include both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. If you choose to buy Windows 7 for download, you will get access to both downloads.
I also pre-ordered a Home Premium for 49.99. Can’t go wrong for that price. Using Shitsa on a laptop right now and I can’t handle it any longer.
