So, the 50€ preorder started on 09:02am at amazon.de
Predictably, I couldn't finish the order because their secure server went down.
On 09:12am I could get into the server again, only to be told that it's sold out.

Yay.

[edit] Even though the preorder started at midnight on amazon.co.uk, there're still copies available there. Bit more pricey, but still a lot less than what they'll be selling it for on release. So I'm grabbing two copies from over there. One for me, one for Chrischi.

... I just discovered something stupid.
If you do windowsupdates via the update client, and it requires a reboot, it'll pop up with a reminder every 5-10 minutes to ask you "Do you want to reboot now? No? Okay, I'll just come back to haunt you until you do".
That's sooooo stupid!
