Windows 7 Home Premium for $29.99! *NOT SPAM GUYS, only for college students*
First off, this isn't spam, I'm relaying a link I found to purchase Windows7 Home premium (for college students only) for $29.99.
http://www.win741.com/ Since my girlfriend is still a student we snatched up a copy for the main laptop. I'll be needing Pro or Ultimate for the Netbook due to the work I do with business machines & servers. So I just wanted to pass this link along. All you need is a valid school email address and they give you a download link on release day. |

Why not ? I wouldn't mind having a look at it myself, just to look around and see what they've done. I'll be waiting for the Pro version, though.

Windows 7 is to XP what XP was to Millennium. Features and looks wise it's Vista, but stability, compatibility and ease of use has gone way up. I'll be getting a copy.

Don't get me started... Suffice to say I've found the perfect OS for me, and it's free.

i havent run into a program or anything that wouldnt workout on the mac. I dont get viruses, and dont have to pay for a stupid virus protection software. i've never encountered any device that didnt work with my macs. its been the smoothest computing i've ever done. I used to build Custom PCs and i'd never go back to wasting my time with that again.

if its a compatible netbook, you could put mac os on it. Actually PCs in general can make the transformation if the hardware supports it.

everyone who has the apple pc/laptop in this thread does some sort of multimedia/design/art/ etc correct?
I rest my case ;P it's like an automatic versus a manual, everyone has their preferences. |
10-13-2009, 02:03 AM | #16 |
you're right...
i just have trouble grasping why someone would prefer a machine that is 100% vulnerable to viruses and consistently crashes / freezes :p And the whole "Macs are only good for multimedia" argument is so old. Retire it. I hope people don't sincerely believe that... |

As for upgrading to 7 I dunno. I'm getting a kick out of spending nothing on my home pc. It's been a long time coming. But if losing cable tv and switching to something like hulu starts to look promising then I would think 7 coupled with the right hardware would be worth considering. |
