Windows 7 local pricing
Prophecy and Taketwo have put up their pricing for win 7.
Prophecy only has dsp's up so far. http://www.prophecy.co.za/-c-131_132_358_1087.html
Taketwo claims theirs is full retail. Can someone explain to me how their full retail is the same price as prophecy's dsp?? Surely the dsp is suppose to be cheaper?? I don't want to place an order and then find out their info was totally out and I got a dsp copy instead of full retail.

Then just get the full retail version from Take Two. Its a few bucks more and you'll be certain you have everything.Originally Posted by Stefan9
The problem is how can it be the full retail copy when they are selling it for cheaper than the dsp that prophecy is selling??
Getting the full retail of Windows 7 Ultimate...this is one of the few OS'es that MS has released that's actually worth-while!
defos. I only go for full retail, since it doesnt limit your hardware upgrades.
I'm still gonna hold out for the 22 October release. I'd hate to be caught short by getting a DSP when I'm expecting a full retail from Take2.
Cant wait for Win7 - srsly

I'm confused, what is the difference between a dsp and a full retail version?
DSP - Limited number of Activations. Comes with a new PC and if that PC's hardware signature changes, i.e you upgrade something, you have to re-activate. You can see how that could become a problem if you're like me upgrading small things every now and then.
Full Retail = Go nuts. Obviously it's still checked on Activation but it's a LOT less strict and your activation counts are either not limited or you have a lot more as well. You can only have 1 copy activated at a time still obviously.
My 2cents = this is an OS that will last you a while...get the full retail copy and save yourself some trouble.
DSP gets tied to your hardware and restricts how many upgrades you can do before it is considered a new system .
With retail the license is tied to the user and you can upgrade and changes pc as much as you want as long as you only have the os installed on one pc at a time.
^^ beat you to it! lol
