How much? Windows OEM Pricing revealed by Newegg
Brandon Davenport
Well, its not really the fifty bucks that OEM's are said to be paying for it, but the pricing for individual OEM copies of Windows 7 has now finally been fully revealed by the guys at Newegg and, as expected, it's still a good deal cheaper than the full retail price.
The OS starts at just $99.99 (after a $10 discount) for a full version of Windows 7 Home Premium (compared to $199 retail), and go up to $134.99 for the OEM Professional edition, and just $174.99 for the Ultimate edition (also after a pre-order discount that's good until October 20th). These prices are not bad at all, but of course, there are a few limitations if you want to go the OEM route yourself, like not being able to transfer the license between PCs, and a complete lack of an upgrade option.
So the positives and negatives way themselves out pretty good, what do you think?
