| 'Retail' OEM versions ease Vista-upgrade pricing pain
Here's an update, in the form of a news story: We now know for sure the sort of prices at which Windows Vista is going to sell in the UK - SCAN Computers having got Microsoft's permission to start taking orders and immediately ship 32-bit and 64-bit 'retail' OEM versions and sell standard retail versions, full and upgrade, for shipping on the official launch day, January 30.
Standard retail versions look just as expensive as we feared but 'retail' OEM versions are far more reasonable.
However, OEM versions must be bought at the same time as a qualifying piece of hardware - though this can be a 'non-peripheral computer hardware component'. Get the full Monty here. |
