Good prices, but will check before put my card on these sites ;-) -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.

Amazon has it for $275, which is quite a difference. Well, actually, I see 2 different versions from Amazon. The "regular" full install version for $275 and an OEM 1pk for $179. I guess I''m not even sure what the difference would be in practice. Regards, Dan

Is similar to the version that comes with new computers. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.

Hi Dan, The Better Business Bureau says: "Based on BBB files, Elecsurf.com has a BBB Rating of F on a scale from A+ to F." http://www.bbb.org/greater-san-francisco/business-reviews/computers-dealers/elecsurfcom-in-emeryville-ca-192369 I''d try a different vendor. (I bought my Windows 7 from Amazon). Best regards, Wayne On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 10:14 AM, Daniel Berger <djberg96 at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi all, > > Just looking to buy Windows 7.
