Why is the old version selling for more than three times that of the SP1 version?

Hi, I believe you are referring to the OEM versions marked as SP1? OEM versions are not equivalent to retail versions as they do not come with transfer rights; you may not move your installation to a new computer. Also, most of the Win 7 items on this listing will be SP1 as both SP1 and non-SP1 Windows 7 retail are the same part number. Hope this helps!

I'm mostly irritated that 8 just came out a few months ago, and now they expect me to pay twice for the same software. Thanks but no thanks.

I bought this before then so I wouldn't know for sure. It's likely still the prior version. I'd assume they'd list a new version as another product.

not sure which is the old or new version, but I bought mine just two or three summers ago.

The response for confusion is the seller switched models using the same item number. You have verified purchasers of the previous model answering questions about the new model

The newer versions are more complete with "new" roads added (such as newly built plats, etc); they are more complete. Other than that, everything else is the same (THANK GOD!) so if you're familiar with an older version, you won't have to re-learn anything. Sure wish Microsoft could do that with at least one version of Windows. :-)

I have had the "standard" MS Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for 3 years. In the bottom it shows v.1.0I just purchased the more expensive "Business" version. After carefully examining the new business version, I see NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever. The other reviewer states the "X" key shows 'cut' on the same key but that is the SAME on my out standard keyboard. Additionally, the new 'business' version shows it is also v1.0This is another scam that Microsoft is pulling allowing them to charge about $10. extra from unsuspecting consumers.

Old version means before sp1(service pack-1) all versions come with that now. If you buy the old version depending on what version you have now , you may have about 4 hours on HSI. Downloading updates or some versions will not even take it. Hit and miss from here,

I am unsure because I have sold it quite some time ago. But I believe it was rev 1.1

If I remember correct is the 1st version. You can update from their website.

If you're referring to the higher price of the 2014 edition vs the 2013 edition, the difference lies in the cost of the new components. The Extruder and Bed are made of aluminum now, instead of Plywood. The material is more expensive, but better quality, thus the price increase.

Best bet is to contact Apple directly. The "old" version is still being sold, overall has great reviews. See link below. If there is a new version it becomes a cost/benefit decision, i.e. are the new enhancements: 1. Relevant to how you plan to use your Mac? 2. How much more money is a "new" version? If the enhancements are not relevant to you and the new version costs more, you would be better off with the old version. If the price is the same old vs. new buy new. Compared to a Windows PC similarly configured, Windows has the edge on price. Let us know what you learn.

Because the seller is price gouging. My advice: don't buy it. No one pays MORE for old technology.

Bought mine almost a year ago and it was V3, don't know what they are selling today

Yes,l this was the full version, not an upgrade. This is now several versions old. You may want to look for version 4 or 5.
