I saw an IBM x31 laptop on ebay today for $135. What does this one do over
that? Also, WalMart has desktops complete for that kinda money on sale.
Further, how will it get power? If it has a wind-up or a treadmill for a
rat, it might work. Maybe sun power or a windmill?? This sounds like a

That is for people who are building systems for resale, not for their own
use.
There are four flavors of Vista.
Home, Home basic, Business and Business Premium.
Actually, there are five: Home, Home Basic, Business, Enterprise, and
Ultimate (what you are calling Business Premium, I think), in
ascending order of what they contain (this can be read to be "more
good stuff"
Yes it is, or with someone who has purchased the components to build
a computer.
I could buy an OEM to go along with the system I built this past
year. It would only be valid with that system and could not be
transferred over to any other system.
Some guys have been buying OEM's to slap on
Ultimate and the Business premium I was mentioning are the same cat.
And the prices you show there are for OEM. The licence on OEM
specifically prohibits it being installed in a virtual computer.
MS wants them to spend a whole bunch for a full copy of Business or
Ultimate to use it that way.

Is this not the stuff that is supposed to be sold only with a computer?
