Windows 7 OEM Pricing Unveiled, Offers Significant Savings
A couple weeks back we told you how to get Windows 7 Home Premium for $30. Now Newegg.com has released pricing details for Windows 7 OEM editions (available for pre-order), all of which, as usual, cost significantly less than a retail upgrade. According to Ars Technica, “the OEM prices range from $110 for a copy of WindowsŇ Home Premium to $550 for three copies of Windows 7 Ultimate.” Check out their comparison chart above for the full details. There is, of course, a catch to buying Original Equipment Manufacturer versions: OEM product keys—designed for systems builders—can’t be transferred from one PC to another, only allow for clean installs, and (less irksome) don’t include any support. For $90 to $ፂ less than full retail, that doesn’t seem like a big sacrifice. [Newegg via Ars Technica]
