Yep, that was my first thought. Edit: If you are putting it on a normal PC, you could probably get an OEM version. Not sure on the legalities of that now, in the UK. I know it was frowned upon, but tolerated. Here it is perfectly legal... Otherwise you are down to searching the usual suspects (Amazon, Scan etc.) for the lowest price for a retail box.

A lot of the listings state they're retail keys.
Def. MSDN or technet keys then.

Is there even such thing as oem for w7 at the moment?
I have an oem xpmce so am happy to go that route if it exists . Otherwise I'll have to fork out for the full boxed version which irks as it'll only be used once a week or so ..

There is OEM windows 7 but it's only a couple of quid cheaper than the retail version (as it's on offer everywhere)

So probably not the best option at the moment then .. given its single install limitation. Didge _________________eurotech

Not any more really The initial introductory offer has ended now, it's now £60ish minimum everywhere as opposed to £50, the family pack should come around soon though if you have other machines to upgrade, I think it was £140 or so for 3 upgrades _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
