Sounds like he's asking about the OEM/System Builder's price on the OS. Microsoft will sell you the OS at a $50 discount if you're a "system builder." You don't have to be a manufacturer, only someone building a computer from scratch, and only certain Microsoft dealers are certified to sell the OS this way. I know MicroCenter is one of them.

I would think recent is relative...what's recent to me may not be recent to someone that is less than half my age.
