Windows Vista Pre Order At OcUK

[Hyper]

Just been checking out OcUK and I see that they are now doing pre orders for the release of Vista on the 12th of this month.



Check it out...

Who will be purchasing it on the release date then ?

[Ham]

Not me, but pircing isn't as horrific as it could have been for Ultimate.

[equk]

not me,

I don't need immitations as I already have the real thing

[nathan]

dont think people will see the benifits of it straight away, i think people's attitudes wil change in the future though. the price isnt as bad as i thought it was going to be, £135 for ultimate

[FarFarAway]

I may get Ultimate Edition OEM

[nathan]

do you have to buy it with a bit of hardware from overclockers?

[FarFarAway]

Ye but a £3 mouse will do

I wont get it from them anyway

Kemp, i'd have a good read through the eula for vista if poss before deciding on a version

http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal...s/default.aspx

OEM licences have never been (legally) transferrable even on XP.

I also heard that OEM versions are more limited when it comes to hardware upgrades *shrug*

OEM licenses still different

It bears repeating, however, the the OEM license that comes with Vista is indeed similar to the Windows XP OEM license in that it forbids any kind of transfer. As we have previously reported, users have nevertheless had success transferring those copies of Windows, but they are technically stepping outside of the bounds of the EULA when doing so.

@Pyr0: ye je know the EULA
