Microsoft unveiled pricing of the main three editions of Windows 7 this June, showing a lineup pretty much in line with Vista prices.
Oh yeah, Microsoft has ended support for all Windows 7 machines from January 14, 2020. (Linux folks may skip directly to the user comment section from this point to input snark). Windows 7 was one of the most widely used Operating systems to date (though that changed with the launch of Windows 10) and with the recently released Windows 11, even Windows 10 might be replaced. It also comes with a bare minimum of packaging and no literature on the operating system. The OEM version also requires a clean install that wipes the hard drive and comes with little to no support from Microsoft. OEM versions are licensed only to one machine, barring a user from transferring the software to another PC. But there are several drawbacks to consider. Strictly speaking, OEM copies are intended for computer builders, but there's really nothing keeping a thrifty individual from purchasing a copy for their own PC. If you want Microsoft's latest OS on the cheap and missed out on earlier promotions, it's certainly not a bad way to go. Online retailer NewEgg has coughed up OEM pricing details for Windows 7 this week, revealing deep discounts from the full retail version.
