there are 2 OEM editions of W7HP make sure you choose the x64 version not the 32bit version

Thanks, I'm definitely getting 64bit. I'm not sure why it's still so expensive though.

Windows 8 will probably get a preorder where it's about 20-50 bucks

It's because Micro$oft makes a s**tload of money off it, and you can't get it anywhere else, so they can charge anything they can get away with for it. Admit it, you would too :)

Yeah, I probably would...You know, I thought there were anti-monopoly laws for a reason lol.

Do you think it will go down in price if Windows 8 is released in a few months? Or was 8 just revealed?

8 is expected in novemberish

MS actually makes most of it's money from office btw Windows is sold to OEMs like Dell for about $15 a unit btw
