Yup. You get Windows 7 for $30 if you use your college email and all.

I can get Windows 7 professional & Enterprise for free, beat that! , but that's a nice offer though as Windows costs quite a bit of money.

 

[Deathshot]

I can get it free too .

But any way it is a nice offer too. They sure know that College kids dont have money.

I am sure its because they want to fix there mistake with vista, but its a good tribute to all the poor working hard students. Go ms, be more sensitive with us

I got a preorder for the home version for $50 on bestbuy a few months ago. Gonna look into this too, thanks for the heads up.

Interesting offer, but I don't even know my student email address.

All you gotta do is talk to your Guidance person.

I got it free too, legally. (which is what Sky meant)
Anyway, nice idea for colleges without MSDNAA partnership.

Just a shame W7 isn't so stable network wise, otherwise I would have kept it. And everytime I used to turn my PC on with Windows 7 on it, it switched to 65 hertz instead of the 85 I put it to. It only does that when I don't turn my monitor on before it launched windows 7, It's really weird. Hence I switched back to XP for now.

I did notice a decrease in FPS, in games and Max9. But i'm too lazy to reinstall XP.

That's why they call them Betas, Sky.

Don't forget that W7 is already released. Can't call them beta's anymore.

 

[Eacos]

I didn't know that.
I take it back.

 

[Dokutayuu]

I'm tempted to upgrade to it. I'm stuck on Vista currently ^^.

 

[Brosiris]

I got windows 7 for free, but I'll buy this and sell it on ebay for a nice profit lol

 

[Shonnie]

I have windows 7 and it pawns vista xD

And yes when you computer is not above standard games will be slower on W7.
But DX11 and the support of more new released software are supported on W7 so...
Low-end: XP
High-end: Windows 7

In our network W7 is a huge step up and works alot better. So that's odd.
Used to have huge problems between Vista and XP networking. W7 makes all ends meet. Especially love the Homegroup thing.

I hate the changes to networking, the whole procedure just got a lot harder for us who want to do it the ordinary, manual way.
