The company I buy all my PC equipment from said that this only affects Western Digital hard drives and not other manufacturers. Regardless, it'll still temporarily raise the price of HDD's across the board.
Vis-à-vis the OS, I actually bought my License key through a third party vendor who claimed to have obtained the keys directly from microsoft. Anyway, the key worked perfectly (I was doubtful of it working at all) and it only cost me £49.99 ~ $75. It was Windows 7 Ultimate for the record.
