Windows 7 Home Premium for $29.99! *NOT SPAM GUYS, only for college students* - Toyota Yaris Forums

*Astroman* · 10-12-2009, 03:26 PM

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.

I wouldn't get this is they paid me. But thanks for thinking of me nonetheless.

*tomato* · 10-12-2009, 05:12 PM

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.

*tk-421* · 10-12-2009, 05:18 PM

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

*tomato* · 10-12-2009, 05:29 PM

Oh, that's right, I forgot

TinyGiant · 10-12-2009, 05:31 PM

osx ftw

coffiend · 10-12-2009, 07:28 PM

^ Agreed.

I cringe every time I have to touch a windows machine.

i'm eligble, but i'm apple-fied 100% :)

TinyGiant · 10-12-2009, 08:48 PM

once i went apple.. there was no going back

TinyGiant · 10-12-2009, 08:57 PM

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.

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.

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.

Shroomster · 10-13-2009, 12:50 AM

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.

coffiend · 10-13-2009, 02:03 AM

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...

Mac guys shouldn't get too comfortable with the whole "we don't get viruses" thing... The more popular an OS gets, the more it becomes a target for malicious programmers (yes, that will apply to Linux eventually as well).

TinyGiant · 10-13-2009, 02:15 AM

powermac towers are amazing you cant say they are like automatics. you can mod and upgrade those like any PC just they harness the power of the Gods. lol

i've saved more money owning a mac than dealing with PC's

no more $50 a year for virus software, Power supplies burning out, wasted time on Blue screens and random glitches with the system.

as much as I used to love building gaming machines , i'm not looking back.

i could aways run boot camp on the mac and get windows on it but i like being virus free:)

its not like buying a manual verses automatic

more like an ford vs a toyota. Sure they both can do the job but one is made way better and will last longer and have less issues along the way. you get what you pay for :)
