    That's a (very) little more than I paid for an OEM of Vista Ultimate.

    Last night, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know.

    Yep, the OEM's are comparable in price over here thats why i went for the OEM of Vista Ultimate.

    The retail version of Ultimate is approx £340 ($663) over here compared to $379 in the US.

    The full retail version is a bit more flexible compared to the OEM regarding the licensing for a major hardware change (motherboard) , but if you are not planning to upgrade your motherboard in the next year or so i recommend running the OEM which will still allow you to reactivate after changing other hardware.

    When i do eventually upgrade my motherboard i'll purchase another OEM license for it which will still work out cheaper as I can get 3 OEM licenses for the same price as a single retail license. And by the time i upgrade my motherboard again the next version of Windows will be released.
