RTM USA: Is Windows Home Server In Stock or Not?

By on September 28, 2007 in Software, Windows Home Server

American beta testers have had to be very patient waiting for the Windows Home Server OEM software to be released whilst seemingly the rest of the world has been able to order it for a couple of weeks. Japan gets served tomorrow (September 29th) and according to Microsoft, the “official” availability date is October 1st (although the Microsoft OEM Partner site states that the software is now available on distributors stock lists.)

Reports on the MS Forums suggest that distributors do indeed have stock, and there are some reports of stock availability at online retailers.

Buy.com have reportedly had stock in today at $194.99
Computers4sure are stating they have stock at $187.95
Costcentral reportedly had stock and are out again at $172.26 
Alvio are claiming stock availability, but “low inventory” at $181.67

So, it looks like the drip has started for the USA – let’s hope someone turns the tap soon!

    You know that MS is literally right up the road for anyone in the US, and if we get enough people together we can go and knock on the sales door up there and order up some burned WHS RTM DVD’s right from the office. Oh they don’t do that, I bet they will if a bunch of us shows up there and beats down the door. Come on MS the people in your own country have to wait while everyone else gets it! This is is as bad as releasing buggy OS’s.

    It is in stock and shipping in the US! I ordered my copy from TechOnWeb.com yesterday (Thursday 27 September) and it arrived in Kentucky this morning. Several other vendors I found on Google Product search show stock as well.
