I've finally decided to get windows 2000 proffesional ( does this mean I've come to my senses? ) and I was wondering if any of you guys/gals know of a reputable business where I can get an OEM pro or upgrade version for a good price.
( I'm familiar with resellerratings.com )
oh and in closing 3fingersalute I'm still interested in those cable if you wanna sell a couple hundred feet of it , thanks everyone. :D
www.9software.com seems reasonable.
I dont know about that www.9software.com Thats half price of retail, as far as I know its not even legal to sell it that cheap, correct me if I'm wrong.
It's illegal to sell any MS OEM product without at minimum, a motherboard, hard drive, or CPU on the same invoice.Quote:

I'm glad that you have come to your senses. LOL. But once you try Win2K, you'll never go back! I love it. It even plays some of my games. Just the cool ones of couse. (I don't play too many, because I do more programming on this box.)

damn I didn't know that
Creeping....do you work in a retail shop?
If so, why not just order in the NFR copy from a MS Distributor?....It'll cost you next to nothing!!
Include on your next order Win2k Pro try these www.kaltech.net Phone Number is 813-888-9555 Ask for august or set up an account at www.techdata.com heres another one www.dolphindataproducts.com these are all wholesale accounts and you must be a reseller and have a Biz.
Hey SOWULO!
1st off, I LOVE your new avatar (So-Crates rules)...
2nd, You can sell any MS OEM software with any new hardware component (including mice, RAM. whatever)
This information comes direct from a phone call we got from MS a month and a half ago. If you have an OEM number, you can probab;ly follow up on this...
Their new agreement includes 95-2k and office/works etc, ALL OEM!
You guys, that mobo/processor thing is from the old agreement.
Hey 3Fingersalute, what is this NFR thing? More information pleeze? i'm in a retail shop and am currently using illegal win2kpro (but feeling guilty) cuz i dont have dough for the real thing...
NFR = NOT FOR RESALE it means that MS will sell you ONE unit of any and all the products they make (including hardware) at a greatly reduced price so that you can become familiar with that product. For instance I bought Win95 upg NEW IN THE BOX when it was first released for $15.00 from Ingram Micro. Win2k Pro should be around $45.
Also for those of you who are not familiar with it look into the Direct Access Pack. It gives you ALL of MS' current business OS - IE a ten user Win2k Pro, Backoffice, Office 2k, Win2k Server - all 10 user license's.
NFR is great...you can get 2000 Server for around $100.00....also, you can buy 1 from each major distributor (Ingram, Tech Data, Merisel)
They keep the shops legal, cheap!
Almost everything MS is available NFR
(ie- Mice, OS's, Software, Gampepads, etc)
No I'm alittle boy who likes to play with his machine :DQuote:
