Looking for a deep discount on Windows 7? Popular online retailer Newegg.com (and Bing Cashback participant) is selling copies of Windows 7 starting at just $99.99 The reason they’re able to sell the OS for so little is because they’re selling the OEM version. That means instead of getting a boxed copy in fancy retail packaging, you typically get just a cardboard sleeve with DVD. However, the most important thing to note is that the OEM copy is tied to one machine, specifically the motherboard of one machine. It’s the perfect choice for those who build their own PCs from scratch, a common practice among tech enthusiasts. If that suits your needs, then an OEM copy can be an affordable way to get a copy of Windows 7.
On Newegg, Windows 7 Home Premium OEM is $99.99, Professional OEM is $134.99, and Ultimate is $174.99.
