And there I was thinking that you were about to start shouting..

"I say, you buy one.. you get one free.. I said you buy one, you get one free..."

Yes.. for a brief moment, I thought that OcUK had branched out into double glazing...



Edit: I swear there wasn't a "7" there a minute ago... hmmm

Win 7 professional retail was £90 for me on the pre order deals :D

Got my copies of Windows 7 Home Premium retail for £39 and £44 on pre-order :D I don't understand MS's pricing tbh - I'd happily pay £70 for home retail but no way I'd pay that for OEM - when the pre-order was on several people I know bought copies that have never paid for MS products in their life - one guy I know bought around 10 copies for his PC setup at the pre-order prices when in the past he always pirated all his previous OS (mind you I think he flogged 5 copies later on to make back most of what he spent).
 
Silly question, is OEM for a single pc and registered meaning it cannot be transfered to a new computer? and normal copies can be installed on more than one computer as long as it's uninstalled from the last?

I'm saying this because I'm still on "xp" and my PC is getting on a bit, yet I don't want to buy Windows 7, register it on my pc only to find it won't install if I build a new one.

This is coming from someone who's never "bought" an OS, I'd like 7 but only if the license is transferable.

I think it time to call Microsoft to scrap that silly activation for one license per machine is well overpriced! Knowing M$ always a pure greedy one! I never purchase any license from M$ myself cos I ain't paying to them!

OEM versions will be tied to the first motherboard they are installed on and can't be transferred - retail versions can be moved to a new PC - afaik you don't need to uninstall it from the old PC to install it on the new one - but the new one won't be able to authenticate with MS for updates and to install some software that requires uptodate WGA certification.

Yeah no way I'm paying £70 for an OEM license tied to one PC... £30 maybe.

Yes, the retail version is transferable, as long as it is only on one PC.

Hardly.
The OS is the single most important piece of software out there. I think the prices are fine. Truthfully, the way you have spelled Microsoft, kinda shows what you think of them.
