Yes it is cheap...if you have the HW. I mean I got my copy of HomePrem for $69 academic price. Should be everyones price. But yes OEM is a bargain too at 119. Too bad many people are spreading rumors like u cant reactivate if you get a new MB, so I think alot of people are are being misled into thinking retail is the only solution...and that is expensive.
I am not too happy with Vista, best things are appearance, installs faster, and Media center. But other than that I am not ready to ditch my XP partition.
i would bet my windows 2003 installs faster then any version of vista even starter, 12-16min FULL INSTALL WITH QUICK NTFS FORMAT.
and i dont feel the copys some people like myself would need are cheap, buisness(pro) version of the os is overpriced for non-buisness users, how much you want to bet somebody brutforced a ton of keys and starts selling them
