Buy Windows 7 cdheap on Recertified PC

[Geek-9pm]

How many people know this? While new PCs are coming with MS Windows 8, Microsoft is making money selling Windows 7 to companies that  refurbish, reload and certify computers taken   off-lease.
And Microsoft says its good. And it is green. And you save green.

Get a professionally refurbished PC with Windows 7 at a great value.
Windows 7 is designed to make your PC simpler and the things you do every day easier. With Windows 7 and Windows Live Services, you can create, connect, and share with your refurbished PC and the cloud.

Microsoft Refurbished PC program members offer enhanced value because they pre-install genuine Microsoft software, provide data wiping security services, and use environmentally sustainable best practices when refurbishing computers.

Here is just one example from a link given by MS.

Toshiba 10 inch 32GB tablet $270.
Same vendor has Dell Latitude D820 Notebook (Refurbished) - Intel Core Duo 2  you can buy Refurbished: $199.89

Many vendors offer warranty and payment options.

So what do you think? Do you believe in recycling?
Works for me.

You're buying a refurbished PC with Win7 on it...
The liscense is tied to the PC itself...

Your Topic title suggests it's a cheap way to get Win7...mis-leading at best.

Well.. you understood what it means. Surely most CH readers would also understand you can not use the Windows 7 on another PC. But a good refurbished PC may be better than the hardware they already have.
The Toshiba tablet mentioned sells for twice the price when new. If you really want Windows 7, not  Windows 8, the refurbished Toshiba the the economical way to buy and save the planet as well. And have the OS you want.

Also, Patio, the terms  of EULA  require the user to comply with it as specified by MS N either the  vendor or anybody can change that. The user may use the Software and hardware fully. The EULA does not prevent the user from enjoyment of his software and hardware,  even if it costs less than what you might expect.  Nothing in the EULA says that a low price  makes the user a thief. I did not intend to use the word cheap to mean shoddy

I can see you missed my point entirely...

Sure.  Why not?  Windows 7 will run on many older systems.   I have it running on a Pentium 4, 2.6GHz system.
