Would £109 considered a good price for Vista Ultimate, inc. VAT??

Bit short of cash at the moment but want to go 64bit ASAP. May have to wait a couple of weeks though....

Sounds about normal. I'm not sure of the excahnge rate but OEM 64 with sp1 is $179.99 from newegg.com. Isn't it now about 2 dollars to a pound? If so it's cheaper from newegg if they ship to Leeds.

Here in France Ultimate OEM is from 150€ to 180€ (inc VAT) 120£/140£ 230$/280$

Ultimate retail, it's twice the lowest price mentioned above (2 DVDs 32 + 64).

Re: Windows Vista Ulitimate 64 bit - good price

I paid $299 for Vista x64 Ultimate retail. It lists for $319. I rather get retail over OEM. OEM stays with that computer. Microsoft is getting picky on OEM vs Retail.

CCL sell it for around £112. This is within travel distance to myself. The Aria price is good but probably exceeds CCL price when you add delivery costs.
