    Windows 7, XP & Office 2010 , 2007 License

    Sorry guys...i know i should be charged for free consulting

    Could you please help me with some info on the following?

    Can an end user buy licenses online directly from MS online via credit card, etc...

    I understand XP & office 2007 are end of sale, not sure about end of support. Any other good source where we could buy licenses online apart from MS?

    Is there a possibility of downloading media along with the license bought?

    Very confused with all this....

    I need licenses for 1 Laptop 2 Netbooks & 1 Desktops- any options i can look at.

    Mostly will go with pro versions of both OS and Office suites.

    Microsoft Volume Licensing programs

    You have to start with five products.... After that you can order one at a time.

    I order Office 2010 last month but on the download page I could have grabbed Office 2007... Actually I could download both ISO files but only use the key code for one.

    Win 7 is avaliable - unsure if you can get XP...

    Some other helpful links :

    Windows 7 Home Prem. Family Pack , unless Pro is really required, this is a good deal.

    I think Microsoft is still offering "Get Genuine Online Kits" , if "genuine" is the problem. The Microsoft Store download works the same way. I recommend just getting the boxed version the normal way, via online or your local store, it's just less complicated and with less risks.
