Microsoft Family Pack will be kicking the street on October 22

Microsoft has placed a $149.99 price tag on the Windows 7 Family Pack, which lets as many as three PCs in a single household upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium edition. Users in Canada will pay $199.99.

Microsoft's official blogger Brandon LeBlanc confirmed the three-license pack last week, but did not include the price.

"We have heard a lot of feedback from beta testers and enthusiasts over the last 3 years that we need a better solution for homes with multiple PCs," LeBlanc wrote. "I'm happy to confirm that we will indeed be offering a family pack of Windows 7 Home Premium (in select markets) which will allow installation on up to 3 PCs."

Prior to LeBlanc's announcement, the three-license pack was rumored due to terms discovered in a leaked version of Windows 7 Home Premium Edition.

The Windows 7 Family Pack will be available on October 22, the same day the operating system is released to the public.

Let´s Make a Huge Wave with Google Wave...

What is about Google Wave?

Google Wave is a new model for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year.

Here's a preview of just some of the aspects of this new tool.

What is a wave? A wave is equal parts conversation and document.People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when. A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Some key technologies in Google Wave

It is a collaborative new "Wave" to communicate with a share environment as I mentioned early this week Google Wave is the next Gmail Generation mixing Social networking with email, in real time, all the APIS are available and this will change the "Wave" to communicate, making internet a social experience with high interactivity that we never meet before.

Today I watched the Google IO keynote and my brain started to realize that swimming with sharks will be a nice experience... metaphoric speaking of course.

Those guys are making a huge work but there is more to come, Video interaction and recorded in a time line plus text and modification in real time will be on the top, also voice notes. Imaging, driving your car and fixing or making voice notes in an article in multiple languages at the same time while you also are sharing information or bloging and Twittering with my Google G2 or the next Generation G3 - a total sense experience.

Google has understand very well the social communication impact and that is why there is more and more to come. Certainly Facebook and Twitter are in a hot moment right now but... Google has been there since 2004 rocking the planet.

Communicate to people never has been easier until now, I remember the TV when I was a Child and was unidirectional communication , just receiving information. Now days Internet is the new "wave" to express yourself, and people is talking about topics that never talked before, sex, life, TV shows, internet, personal thoughts, news weather, etc.

"Mobile computing is helping us to do the same everywhere with everyone amazing EH!"

But as a users or developers we need to do more , create more and share more in that "Wave" we will be better person, friends, family and nothing could stop the information or the Truth of what is happening when is happening and who are the actors in the role of life.

Let me know when it's ready

Google Wave will be available later this year.
