| Xp Pro SP3 x64, Win7 x86 (Ult 7600), Win7 x64 Ult 7600, TechNet RTM on AMD x64 (2.8Ghz) | These are probably Mfg OEM versions that are linked directly to the MB of each computer and therfore cannot be moved to another computer. |

| | The best deal out there now is Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family 3-pack on Amazon and buy.com, which includes 3 licenses for life for less than the price of one. |
