If a user is interested in actually buying the software, however, he or she can now do so from e-tailers like Newegg.com, which have begun offering OEM versions of Windows Vista Home Premium, Home Basic, and Vista Business. The OEM version allows users significant savings: for example, the Windows Home Premium standalone version is officially priced at $239; the same software, in OEM form, will cost users $119.99, essentially a 50 percent discount.

A Microsoft representative confirmed that users may buy an OEM copy of Windows Vista at a substantial discount.

Thanks for the info

The OEM Vista version lacks a manual, but includes a "Quick Start" installation guide. This Vista versions will allow a user either to do a fresh installation, or to upgrade their previous Windows XP installation

I just ordered two of the Home Premium Vistas..
One for me, one for a friend. (He paid for both, he owed me. haha)

Anyways, I've spent thousands of dollars on NewEgg.com because I build gaming computers for people and a few businesses. I'm glad they have an OEM version, it's easier to put DirectX 10 on my gaming PCs now.

Thanks for the post man.
Really helped out a lot for me.
