Well Goodbye

[Tom]

When you buy a new computer doesn't it come with either Win 7 or 8 preinstalled?

There are some people, i.e. me, who'd never buy a pre-built machine.

Well, you'll be happy to know that I got a legit Win 7 Home Premium from the retail for a nice 224,95 + taxes, FML, lol.

OEM version ftw!

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I'm so lucky, that as a student in Norway, I've got legal copies of Win 7 and Win 8. Free.

The only win-version I have pirated was 2 months ago. Wanted to test a clean Win 98 innstall on an old computer. Must say, I didn't feel bad about that...

Not a gaming PC

That's why I always buy OEM versions.

 

[William Levesque]

That's why I always buy OEM versions.

I don't even know the difference, lol...

On the full priced one I bought, do you know if I can use it many times or is it just on the same PC ? It'd be the equivalent of getting raped it that was the case...

 

[Peter]

OEM is for one PC, they cost €79.

Well, at least I have multiple uses, lol....

There wasn't any OEM's at all in retails though, only online I presume.

 

[Peter]

It' more difficult to get a Retail version here.

and I only have 2 PC's

 

[William Levesque]

Right... I think I saw OEM's on Newegg.ca, but other than that stores all have the full package stuff that costs a fortune...

Oh well, now at least everything's sorted out with that damn PC !

 

[Majnu]

Bye, hope you find a place where they support piracy, there are plently, but RD is not one.

Don't think it's because staff here is evil capitalists with obsesion for copyrights, in fact many times was defended on forum that copyright should be time-limited, regulated, that acess to culture has to be granted for everyone after a short "commercial period", but developers have families you know, if we want to have new titles they need to make some money with their work to go ahead, just like every other worker.

The guy pirates games? If true then good riddance.

 

[Majnu]

Well, when Microsoft does everything possible to force you to spend 200$ for what is the basic Win 7 version, including no being able to transfer it from your older PC to your new, well, their problem.

When they'll have reasonable prices, then I think people who do crack those will re-consider.

I did find alternatives which require ordering online which are priced properly, but as for retails, it's ridiculous.

you're just as thick as the OP. Thieves will make any excuse to justify their theft. if you can't afford something then save up or find alternatives etc. Heck I paid £15 for windows 8 pro fully licensed.

Thank you to keep reading further, it was temporary... Also, you claim I'm a thief but you pay 15 quids for something worth easily 200+ ? Nice, lol.

The upgradeoffer from Windows. If you buy a PC with Win7 between two dates(don't know which), you get Win 8 for 15 GBP.

Right, maybe. I just want to say, we're getting ass-rape so badly compared to you guys on prices for these, ridiculous, lol.

Upgrade price is 40 USD, around the same price that we have in Norway. But still double of the british price! Damn. Guess there are some scotsman working on the prices!

Of course you do. Except no. It costs the same for you as it does for me. Now consider the average salaries. But okay.

EDIT: scratch that, 40$ for the upgrade version? It's 90 here. You were saying?

Yeah, the offer expired on January 31st. Now it's the normal price.

[Hampus Andersson]

Bought Vista when it came out, wanted to punch Gates in the face for conning me of my money because the OS was the shittiest thing ever created.

Run pirated Win 7 now and feel perfectly fine doing it.

 

[Senad Subasic]

You were saying ?

LOL. Okay.

Cheapest I can see, in a site that combines searches from dozens of stores:
MSO-0379 - Microsoft Windows OEM Win 8 Cro 64x DVD - Win 8 64Bit Croatian 1pk DSP OEI DVD
846 kn = 150 CAD

MICROSOFT Windows 8 PRO 32-bit HR. DSP OEI MICROSOFT Windows 8 PRO 32-bit HR. DSP OEI
1200 kn = 212 CAD


Median household income:

Croatia, not on the list of top 35, less than 5000.

Seriously? Yeah.
