US computer shops

[Flt. Sgt. Powderhound]

As I'm going to the USA next week, I'm planning to try and get Windows Vista there to get around M$'s Limey surcharge. As such, would anyone be able to recommend cheap high street PC stores where I could get hold of an OEM copy of Vista HP in Washington, NY or Boston?

Re: US computer shops

Why don't you just buy OEM in the UK?

Re: US computer shops

M$ have actually admitted that you're better off buying it in the US because they've put such a markup on it.

TBH, I probably will get it in the UK though, unless it's significantly cheaper.

That's why I'm not getting hardware... and the fact that a graphics card might look like a bomb through an X-ray machine.
