$198.98, you can get it cheaper than that off the internet, and not buy the hardware.

I guess I didn't read it well enough.. I think I was in shock when I saw it was OEM at Wally-world. It's funny that I can only find OEM or the Upgrade package. But they are selling Lindows and Lycoris Desktop/LX (which I've never heard of)
