Windows 7, $30:
I felt this was information that was important enough to distribute. If you have a .edu email account and your college or university is enrolled, you can get Windows 7 Home Premium for $30. To find out if you're eligible and to have it send an email your way, enter your .edu email address on the following page. Enjoy!
P.S. Since I've had it asked, I dug through the FAQs to confirm that the offer can also be used to purchase Windows 7 Professional for the same price. Quote:

Now, if I can just find someone who can get that deal and will pickup a copy for me and send it for like 50$ or something :)
|
And if you're part of the IEEE or you're at school and your faculty participates in the MSDNAA then you can get copies for free as well.
|
I work for a certified microsoft and HP reseller, so yea.. free copies for meh
|
Same boat here, but just spreading the word for those who aren't as lucky =P
|
I'm going to wait a year.

Unless something has changed recently that $30 offer for Windows 7 was for an upgrade and not the full version. Upgrading from one OS to another by overwriting files creates a gigantic mess and for alot of people that upgrade process can take all day to complete.
Just something to be mindful of if you are expecting a quick and painless transition. |
A lot of people have been having major issues with the Digital Rivers offer:

windows 7 is a load of crap

For those that may not have known this, even when you buy an "Upgrade" edition, you can still do a clean install, which is almost always recommended. The "Upgrade" bit just means that officially you need to have owned a previous version of Windows to be eligible. Some older versions would have you pop in an older disc to prove this, though I don't know if 7 goes through that.
At any rate, $30 is a great deal especially for professional! If you aren't a student, but have 3+ computers, you might consider the family pack too. That is $150 for 3 copies of Home Premium. 7 really is quite a bit better than Vista, I have been enjoying it so far. :) |
I'm going to move to 7 as soon as HP starts offering it on their models so I can grab the keys; I'm stuck using vista due to XP 64 having no real support or compatibility.
|
Does anybody know if Everquest works well under Windows 7 ? Has anybody ever tried it ?
|
It does work well; I was running it under the beta of 7 and now in production too. :)
|
IM running EQ on windows 7 64bit - running awesome
