Can it be bought here, where? and most importantly, in English?
I saw The Ultimate Vista on danawa for 240000? Heard it was supposed to be 400USD?

You can get it from the MicroSoft kiosk on the 6th floor of Yongsan station in your choice of English or Korean. |

I haven't looked, but I'm sure the 240,000 was the upgrade version. The 400,000 or so should be the clean install (full) version.

MS really screwed up cause all you do is do a full install with out a key that will give you a trial period of 30 days then you use the same disk and upgrade Vista Ultimate with Vista Ultimate this time using your key. |

That sounds like a retail version, but next when I go to Yongsan I will double check.
The guy that gave me my prices told me they were full OEM versions. |
