The software maker acknowledged the move as part of a blog entry Tuesday afternoon. However, it still isn't saying how much it will charge for the family pack, which allows three installations of the home premium version of Windows 7."</em></p><p>I posted about the family pack rumours earlier this month, and it's finally been confirmed <a href="http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/07/21/when-will-you-get-windows-7-rtm.aspx" target="_blank">via this blog post from Brandon LeBlanc</a>. No word on the pricing, which is the only thing we were waiting to confirm, but the words "select markets" in the blog post are a little concerning. I hope this isn't just limited to the US!</p>
