Yeah I have the Business version cache cached as that is what i base my prices on.

Although was £29 this morning now its £30 they must have sold a few.

We have started using this on our servers and its pretty much windows 7 and runs all our software and 64bit.

Maybe he was looking at the sans VAT version of the website?

Before VAT presumably

Don't purchase an upgrade edition, no more legal that piratebay.

OEM is probably the best solution

Purchase retail, purchase twice (OEM) or nab it until you build your system; those are your options.

Pirate bay! Bill Gates is rich enough, balls to him

Probably, but trying to be legal :lol:

can't you borrow a DVD burner and go to the 'internet shop' ?

I need to keep my desktop up and running now and don't want to use XP any more.

I could wait, but not planning on buying the motherboard/CPU until last after we've been on holiday this year.

Why not wait until you have the hardware then purchase windows? :boggle:

Ah, realised my error.

OEM versions come in 64 or 32 bit only. Full retail version is both.
Still nearly twice the price of OEM :mad:

I was under the impression the same keys worked for both 32 bit and 64 bit.

I just use a dell dvd and get the key off the bottom of the nearest laptop if it's not a dell.

Unless of course Windows 8 ends up being 32/64 compatible in one go.

Buy windows 8 and kill yourself. Just stick with Windows 7

Wasn't going to be that fussed, apparently upgrade offers are already about that you can go from 7 > 8 for £15.
Easy.

Wait and get 8 in a couple of months if you are spending money on it.

I'm in the process of building a new PC but doing it in stages so spread the cost out a bit and using a spare machine currently running XP to get me up to speed.

The final machine will be running 64bit Windows but the current machine is 32bit. I understand Windows is bought in either variants, but not both. Not planning on spending £120+ on both versions through official channels.

So, cheapest place for 32bit without me stealing it off the internet and having to make my own boot disk? (tricky, since my laptops DVD burner is fucked :lol: )
