Microsoft Start Offering Additional Windows XP Licenses
By: Arie Slob
After a delay, Microsoft is finally getting ready to offer additional Windows XP Licenses from their shop.microsoft.com Web site. But the savings are minimal, and amount to no more than an insult: $10 USD on Windows XP Home Edition and the Windows XP Professional Upgrade, with only the full version of Professional offering a somewhat reasonable saving of $29.90 USD
The pricing is as follows:
| Full Version |
Volume License | Upgrade |
Volume License | |
| Home Edition | $199.00 | $189.00 | $99.00 | $89.10 |
| Professional | $299.00 | $269.10 | $199.00 | $189.00 |
The additional licenses are available on Microsoft's Web site. Windows XP Home Edition is available here, while Professional can be found at this URL. Although right now all options seem to be "on backorder". According to Microsoft, additional licenses should also be available through the retail channel.
