Microsoft licensing?
I am working on a technology refresh at my company. I need to estimate the costs associated with up grading about 100 PC's running XP and office 2003/2007.
The company wants Windows 7 not 8 and office 2012.
The easies thing for us would be to start with new license because of lack of previous licensing information.
There are ~ 100 PC's
We want to go to windows 7. Every one here dislikes windows 8.
We may be doing VDI in the future.
Can we downgrade the windows 8 Licenses and install windows 7?
Is it more cost effective to get a site license for 100 PC's?

There is no downgrading of licenses.
OEM Windows 7 pro costs $149 per seat.
Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Business $280 per seat.
So 100 seats is $14900 for windows and $28,000 for office 2010.
No such thing as OFFICE 2012.
Anything more than 5 licences should look at Volume Licences with Windows 7 enterprise.
