There are rumors emerging that state that Microsoft will offer a multi-license ‘family pack’ version of their Windows 7 Operating System. Apparently if you read the EULA (End User License Agreement) there are references mentioning the previously unannounced family pack.

There is a section in the EULA which is titled ‘Installation And Use Rights’, within this section a sentence reads ‘If you are a Qualified Family Pack User’, this seems to suggest that a Family Pack will be released, reading more into the EULA it seems to suggest that the Family Pack will allow Windows 7 to be installed on up to three computers in one household.

Apparently the Family Pack is available for Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Home Premium E (European). It is doubtful that this will be available for other versions of Windows 7 as Home Premium is the most suited for a household environment.

As more details emerge we will keep you informed, check out ComputerWorld for the original report.
