Want Windows 7 for 50 Percent Off? Order an OEM Copy | |
|
||
| Time: 18:17 EST/23:17 GMT | News Source: PC Magazine | Posted By: Andre Da Costa | ||
|
Missed out on the early preorder discounts? Popular retailer Newegg.com has listed the OEM prices for Windows 7, which will be offered at less than half what Microsoft will charge for a retail copy. Newegg hasn't listed any prerequisites for buying the OEM version, such as the purchase of any additional hardware. Past OEM copies have prevented users from taking advantage of Microsoft's support options, however, and the packaging and instructions are usually minimal. | ||

| OEM is the way to go. |

| Pre-order now and miss out on the real savings with the $149 3-user family pack upgrade for Home Premium. |

| I've already preordered my two copies of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit from Newegg at $135 each with free shipping. Great online reseller. |

| If this is like Vista, there won't be any additional hardware purchases necessary. The only caveat is whoever opens it, supports it. Personally I don't have a problem with that. |

| These OEMs are not hardware specific, it will have all the drivers a Retail copy would. |

| #3: Ditto on Newegg. |

| Hey "Once you know, You Newegg!"... :) |

If you are user of many of Microsoft's software products and/or you are "in the business", get a TechNet Plus subscription for $349 with $100 off on yearly subscription renewals. It comes with a plethora of addtional perks. Check it out at: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/default.aspx.
