i say its in S$. Its OEM version and plus the home basic is kinda useless if you ask me, not much nice interface/stuffs in it, it surely wouldn't cost $148 in pounds or USD. If not, it will be freaking expensive for just OEM version, so who's going to buy the retail version? -
Im sure Pounds would be displayed as it's symbol rather than being $

It's not in pounds. It's in USD, where MS is based.Originally posted by furb:You're kidding? in pounds? i say its in S$.

That's the price given by MS, after discounts. No way it will be in SGD, it's way too cheap by MS standards.
Besides, that's the upgrade price (provided you have Windows XP SP2 installed). -
SoulDivine said it is from a shop at SLS, not MS. I gave an updated pricing from SLS. It is OEM version.. not upgrade. And I think it is quite obvious that it is SGD.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:It's not in pounds. It's in USD, where MS is based.
