Which WSH package should I purchase CCQ-00061 or CCQ-00015 ? RRS feed

  • Question

  • Could someone tell me what is the difference between CCQ-00061 and CCQ-00015 ?
    Which one should I purchase?

    There are two packages on Amazon.
    http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Home-Server-URP1/dp/B001E5Q8CO/ <-- CCQ-0061 $106
    http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Home-Server-OEM/dp/B000VWW8QQ/ <-- CCQ-0015 $169

    http://blogs.technet.com/homeserver/archive/2008/07/31/more-power-pack-1-information.aspx This page refers CCQ-00061 under a Power Pack discussion.  I wonder CCQ-00061 also includes WHS itself or the just Power Pak, because of the effective price difference in the market.

    Thanks in advance

  • Amazon doesn't sell WHS. Both of those listings are from "third parties" that sell through Amazon. Those third parties can charge whatever they like for the software.

    The current street price for a system builder package of Windows Home Server software with Power Pack 1 included is $99.00 USD (plus shipping and handling) from e.g. NewEgg.com.

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
