Re: MSDN vs Technet
Ah, yeah...upgrades are annoying that way. When do you need the licenses by? I know with Vista, the OEM full licenses were about the same price as the retail upgrade licenses. Again judging from Vista, with the 7 launch being October 21st (I think it was the 21st..some time around there anyways), NewEgg should probably start getting OEM licenses around the first or second week in November. You might be able to pick up a bulk OEM pack for less than the upgrades.
Re: MSDN vs Technet
I was hoping to get them in october sometime. Win7 launch in the 22nd
Re: MSDN vs Technet
Holy carp! Great divine fishes! I just checked to see if NewEgg had any Vista packs with 7 upgrades, and looky what I found:
Windows 7 3-pack OEM, with a release date of 10/20, for $310

I'm gonna guess that the OEM price will drop later on; NewEgg unfortunately has a habit of scalping a bit on brand new stuff that nobody else has.
Oh well, it's at least a little cheaper than the retail license.
Re: MSDN vs Technet
a lot cheaper. thats half the price! Ill definitely look into that. Thanks
Re: MSDN vs Technet
? Win 7 Home Premium is only $99 (retail MSRP $120), so you're saving...actually, looking at that, you're not really saving anything(looking at it again, it looks like it's normally $110, but if you catch it while it's on sale..). Also, make sure you get the 64-bit version, assuming all the systems you'll be building are 64-bit capable.
It looks like the OEM savings increases a lot more when you go up to Pro @ $135 (retail MSRP $200).

In compare to retail its a huge deal.
Of course I will be getting 64-bit.
Re: MSDN vs Technet
Wow, yeah...I didn't even realize that NewEgg sold Retail copies....holy crap that's expensive.. the MSRP prices I got off MS's website must be for upgrades.

Re: MSDN vs Technet
??You got, what, Windows 95? And you're still using it! WOW!
I would be willing to bet that Microsoft's MSDN license agreement has changed since then. I know in my personal experience (MSDN-AA), the server keys I got died after a year, but the desktop keys were still working last I checked. I don't know what the actual license says though.

Damn Right.??You got, what, Windows 95? And you're still using it!
