Why windows is cheaper from amazon.com?

Hi

I have windows vista ultimate on my laptop. I was looking to upgrade to windows ultimate. I checked many places and the best price I found was AUD$ today I checked amazon.com and found the price is AUD$!!

Why the big difference in prices?

What’s the catch here?

Will it amazon copy work fine on my machine?

Thanks

  • Links to the sites/pages with prices would help. Just telling us the prices doesn’t help much.

    They could be different products

  • One possible difference is that one is a full version (for installation on a new computer) and the other is an upgrade (from an existing version of Windows). Windows Ultimate upgrades are going for about $ US; full versions are usually at least $ more.

  • It might be the OEM version that lacks commercial customer support. THe OEM version is fine, but the install disc is either the -bit version or -bit version, and does not include both kernels like the Retail version.

    You can also by the OEM from the US and have it shipped to you using http://www.myus.com/ if it saves you money.

  • amazon is trying to beat their competitor like best buy or FRYS

    there is no catch

    best buy did a buy n get free game..

    an amazon kill them buy telling consumers like u n me to buy $ games n get $ store credit for the next game.
