Windows 7 OEM price even cheaper if you get Vista Upgrade fi
BetaNews | at | by Mike
A little over three weeks until global availability (GA) day for Windows 7, major software retailers have heavily discounted pre-orders for the OEM full-installation editions (minimal packaging), with Newegg offering the Home Premium SKU at $99.99. That's half the price of the MSRP for the full retail edition, and four cents more than a retail upgrade package.
But that's still not the least expensive option. For an indeterminate period of time, Newegg has slashed $20 off the OEM price of the Vista Home Premium SKU, marking it down to $89.99 and leaving the free Windows 7 Tech Guarantee upgrade coupon attached. It's a little less convenient, you're stuck with a copy of Vista you may never use, and your Windows 7 version is an upgrade rather than a full install, but you save ten bucks. In fact, the version without the Tech Guarantee coupon is $10 more; you would actually spend more money not to get the Win7 upgrade coupon.
