  From experience I wouldn't recommend the upgrade editions.

  This is the OEM copy for 103

      Save you almost $400 in comparison to what? Buying an entirely new system with an OEM windows 7 disc? Why wouldn't you just find a retailer that sells OEM versions?

    I wouldn't recommend the OEM editions. You can only activate it on one computer - it lives and dies on that computer.

    An upgrade or full edition can be transferred to your new computer. Or your second computer if you're feeling dodgy. :)

    Yeah, I'd get the OEM copy myself as well… my PC gets nuked every 1-2yrs and I couldn't be bothered installing an upgrade over an older version of Windows. The normal security updates is bad enough as it is.

      You can just do an image-based backup once you have all your stuff installed.

      You also can't (officially) reactivate if you upgrade your computer, e.g. from a c2d to an i5. So if you see yourself upgrading before Windows 8 comes out, an OEM version probably isn't the best buy.

  only $111.73 here and it says $140 is the RRP, is there a difference in the products ????

  both are upgrades to WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM…

    That one is definitely incorrect. That is their "Anytime Upgrade" which allows you to upgrade (if you could call it that) from their Starter version to Home Premium.

  Not a deal mate. There are about 10 stores all priced 163-170 on staticice. Now, if you add postage I guess that's a couple of dollars, but this is a JB hifi fail imho.

  Once again for Uni students or people with access to education email addresses. I believe it is still valid.
