Fopr Under £20 I';ve installed it on the two computers I want to npow how many copies of windows 7 and how much would they cost me to install W7 each computer, I need two copies don;t I at over £100 for the cheapest version.
And why have a restricted license via differnt versions of W7?

MS licenses are genrally far more retrictive, any mac app I buy I can install on all my home machines at no extra cost, now could you do that at home with MS Word, legally of course.

You might look at some of the "family" or "student" licences which
Microsoft offer. They are available for MS Office, I understand, and
possibly for Windows as well.

Don't forget that for a limited period, Microsoft is offering Windows-8
upgrade licences for about £14, IIRC.

Oh, and you can get free "Office" syuites:
