pricing question
If I have a desk top pc and a notebook, can i get away with purchasing just one copy of win 7? I've asked this question several times and get mixed answers.
i love windows 7 but if, like vista ultimate, it is ridiculously over-priced, i won't be paying for it
If you buy retail then expect to see both 32bit and 64bit editions included together for 2 prices rolled into one. If you buy oem then you are paying out a little over 50% of the retail price for the same edition.
So if you have need for both and not one or the other you actually save somewhat pricewise seeing both priced together rather then separate charges for each. The retail price however sees the advantage of a slight beneficial change in the eula as well there.
You are sold on this program and I am reading your posts. We still have 10 months to use W7 free. Let's just see what happens in the next few months. We have no idea of prices and remember that I have several computers to upgrade. I read today that Dell may be backing out of the W7 deal if prices remain high. I think I saw that article on a google tech report.
That's the key in my mind.We still have 10 months to use W7 free.
Hopefully the holiday rush will be such a success for MS that they will help out the 'testers rush' around this time next year and lower their rumored prices to something more affordable
