Buying windows XP

[Guest]

I wish to start selling windows PCs as a small business. I have heard that
you can buy a copy of windows which you can install on multiple machines and
pay microsoft a little each time, or that you can buy just a new liscence
code, both of which are much cheaper than buying a full version. Is there any
truth in this and where do I go about getting a copy if there is some truth
in it.

Have you give thought to contacting Microsoft Corporation?

You will have to contact Microsofot directly in order to arragne for this
type of deal.

The second method is that you could legally buy a multple XP OEM bundle
directly from a wholesale distributor. The bundles start @ 5 CD/COA.

Have you checked the obvious place to find out _everything_ you'll need
to know about OEM licensing?

Are you a System Builder?
