Windows 7 out now

[atlien seeko]

I have mine pre-ordered. Release date is October 22, so hopefully the digital download will be available tonight at midnight. I copped the digital download anddisc with the student discount. It looks good. I used the beta version for a short wile and it seemed pretty functional. The reviews are promising.

Student Discount Link

I got mine for free, I'm a student. Does that make you a fool?

 

[air23jordan707]

^ do you know if that student discount expires? Or can i do it anytime?

 

[soltheman]

I been had that @%#@.

 

[rfx45]

Is it true that you have to format your computer to install it?

I would also like to get the student discount, I still have my college email address and I remember someone saying that all you need is that.

Yes because I dont know how to use torrents and read readme.txt files. I'm a fool.

No. The student discount versions only have upgrades (the one that upgrades from your current version of windows. IE, you dont have to format). They offerPremium and Professional for the same price. I copped Pro.

I'm actually more curious about the Microsoft Store. Could be great...could flop bad, we'll see.

So with the link you provided, I could just upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 without formatting?
Sorry but I am not the best when it comes to technology.

@ that graph. Windows upgrades are so annoying and overpriced. I been using Windows 7 for about a week now, its pretty cool. I only use it to runFruity Loops but its a lot easier to multitask. Once they get Spaces and Expose' then I can use it for more. But until then, Snow Leopard OS X >>>>> Windows 7.

I'm not sure what that means...

If you have Vista you have either one, go through your system and check.
And that pic is pretty self explanatory.
Vista 32-bit upgrading to Windows 7 32-bit, it will overlap and nothing gets reformatted, which is what I'm doing

 

[sole vintage]

had it for 2 months and no problems

 

[DPancakes]

LOL @ Windows still playing the 'multiple versions' card.

 

[boys noize]

I must just be an idiot Mac user but...

that graph. What the hell is going on
