diba 7K lang ang orig na WinXP Home edition?

[tabong]

Waaah! Bakit super mahal nung mga Windows XP?! P5,100 ang bili namin dati sa Home Edition. Baka kasama na cost nung upgrade sa Vista kaya ganyan kamahal.

Sir,

yung 7K na Win XP home na sinasabi nyo po is baka OEM yun, mahal po talaga ang FPP.

Dahil ang FPP pwede mo e transfer ang license from 1 PC to the other or simply pwede mo gamitin sa other PC but ofcourse one a time lang installation.

Unlike OEM di po sya transferable kung saan lang yung original na machine installed..di mo sya pwede gamitin sa ibang machine.

AFAIK lang po.

Thanks!

nka box kasi...

OT:
wag maniwala sa "exceeded no. of time" during activation... after I got the activate message (installed 3 times na on same PC different HDD), I simply fill-in the blanks.. and in 1 month of doing so, it went thru and it was activated. Nadala seguro sa kulitan ang microsoft

^^^ Yeah, mas mahal talaga FPP. And considering na may free upgrade pa sa Vista upon its local release, medyo bargain na ito.

this is why i like windows 2000 -- none of that activation crap

FPP (Full Packaged Product) e mas mahal sa OEM product... 5k lang XP Home at 8k lang ang XP Professional na OEM... wag maniwala sa perpetual... pwede mo naman lipat yung OEM mo e provided burahin mo yung sa luma... They are trying to sell their old stocks kasi lalabas na Vista sa Jan. 31, 2007.... Kumbaga with your FPP purchase, its like you bought 2 OEM licenses... 1 for XP and 1 for Vista...
