I got in on the pre-sale launch a couple of moths ago and purchased two single-user copies at $49.99 each for the full retail 32/64-bit Home Premium upgrade version.
The family pack is a very good deal if you’re going to upgrade even two computers since the current list price on a one-user retail upgrade version is $119.99. You may be able to find a one-user OEM upgrade version for around $90. Also, the fact that both the 32 and 64 bit versions are included is a big plus. I’m fairly certain (not 100%) that the family pack qualifies as full retail rather than OEM, so the licenses should be transferrable, and you would be eligible for future operating system upgrade versions at a discounted price. Installed OEM versions of XP or Vista may not allow the installation of Windows 7 Upgrade so you would be required to purchase the full version at a higher cost.
