Cheapest legal way to get windows 7 professional 32 bit?
Hi. The best price I could find for windows 7 pro 32 bit was 75.00. This was on http://www.techsupplyking.com/MCW7PRP_022.php. I am upgrading an xp machine with a legal Oem License.
Anyone know of a better way? I see you can download the dvd from digitalriver, but of course the problem is obtaining a license key. I assume if I did download the dvd and then called Ms$, they would charge me more than 75.00....

Sorry it took me so long to close the question. My next one might be if I can download a memory upgrade for my brain! Masq, I'm sure in essence you are right about such cheap downloads not being totally legal, but I'm not going to lose much sleep over not contributing to MS$!

I'm going to give it to my brother in law to replace his old win xp machine.
Kta, ty for the info.
I guess oem manufacturers have a so-called refurbisher's license, and that's how they can get operating systems so cheap? You see refurbished computers for sale for like 200.00, So I doubt if they are even paying 65.00 for an os.
