There is a URL you can buy full downloadable versions of windows with keys for about $59 for win7 Ultimate. You won't know you're buying from China unless you look at your credit card and see the transaction being changed from dollars into Remimbe :rolf: They do work though

Oh, I get that all the time when swapping things around. No big deal tho as I just activate over the phone...only takes about five minutes or so.
