You may know this already, but you can get Windows for significantly less if you order the OEM version. (M$ requires this to be in conjunction with a hardware purchase, like a motherboard or CPU or something.) One downside is that M$ licenses expect the computer manufacturer--that would be you in this case--to supply tech support for OEM copies of Windows that they install on new machines. But I personally think the OS-related Windows support you get from any of the big PC vendors is not worth anything.
