upgrade to XP

[rc101]

I have a small business and I want to upgrade 6 machines
to XP from 98. Do I go buy upgrade for each machine or a
license from microsoft?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

you can get a licence from microsoft for multiple machines
but check how many first ..it might be cheaper with only 6
machines to get individual licences.

I second the motion by Ken. It may be cheaper to buy 6 upgrade
versions. I do not know off the top of my head, but I think the
licensing becomes your best option around 25. Anyone out there who can
verify this? Or is this more dependent on what OS you purchase, e.g. XP
Pro, Win2k, etc.

Later,
Bill

Volume licenses start at 5 machines - how the pricing would come out
compared to purchase at a BestBuy or the like I don't know at that level
