OEM pricing? I don't think anyone knows that for sure. But generally you cannot get OEM pricing unless you buy the OS with a PC.

Actually you can buy OEM versions, but it's not even out yet.

Yeah, I know they are selling, but as I understand it, it's not actually "legal" unless you buy it with "something" like a mouse. LOL!!

Wow.. They are charging you for delivery? It should be FREE.

Yes, the free Windows 7 upgrade comes with every newly purchased PC with Windows Vista. But only for OEMs who choose to participate - Tech ARP - The Microsoft Windows 7 Free Upgrade Option Program Rev. 4.1

yea. the last time i had Windows XP, i had to pay for the shipping for Vista upgrade

I would imagine that a license will be ~$150 USD for OEM. The last thing MS will want to do is outprice Vista/XP with thier "new" "powerhouse". Personally, they should give you a discount for buying such a HOG!

Vista, rev.2.
