Be Excellent To Each Other

I'm sure you used to be able to buy Windows and Office is batches of ten.
Has that gone away? I can only find singles, or sets of three - but only for Home and Student versions.

?

Yeah, good luck finding groups of ten on there.
It lets you sit through loads of pages about Open Licensing (which seems perfect) and then tells you it's US only. Thanks.

You're dealing with a company that only lets you buy volume licences for machines that came with a Windows licence in the first place, so I am not surprised.

not 10 copies but does anyone know where to get a cheap copy of 7

Otherwise: Which version?

Home Premium Id guess, I dont know what the best one is for average home / game use

If you're stealing it, get Ultimate.
If not, Home Premium is indeed the one you want. It's about £65.

£65? Wow.. I thought it would be much more than that.

Not for the home one.

I wwas going to upgrade to Windows 7 after my wedding but I had a feeling it would cost me twice that.

Just goes to show how clueless I can be.. or how much I actually want to upgrade!

Lace I told you I have a stealth loader. I don't use it as thankfully the serial given to me is still working but it works and it works well.

My mate wasn't so lucky with his Technet see, he got them from Ebay and both were obviously sold multiple times and kicked him out.

EDIT : It even uninstalls the 'update' that M$ use to kill your dodgy serials.

If you are using Vista then it's not an upgrade. It's a life changing must.

7 is the best OS they have released since XP/wSP1

dont understand stealth loaders and just prefer genuine software preferably not at a price point equivalent to anal rape

You generally don't have to pay for anal rape though.

It's practically a bargain.

Don't you?!?

you know what i mean

£65 is, of course, really cheap.

It is not much more than teh pre-order stage..

yeah im happy to pay that
is that the standard price then from retailers, looked on amazon seemed nearer a ton

£25 is cheaper.

And... 'it just works'^TM.

I'm happy to pay £65 for it. I honestly thought it was a lot more... Let the good times roll!

I take it this is no good Grim...

Yeah. That would be perfect, though.

looks like the UK version of teh US site I found..... close but no cigar for Kov, time for me to toddle off

Once you hit the "I'm ready to buy" option you get given a list of people to buy Windows from.
No-one does bulk licenses in anything more than 3, and they're only OEI ones.

Grim... try http://www.greymatter.com/ I use them a lot for bulk MS licences.
