Windows 7

So it’s just my luck that the week I get my computer completely functional, I get the opportunity to buy a copy of Windows 7 for $30. This was a student rate that only requires you to have a .edu email address to register through Microsoft’s “Ultimate Steal” program.

Windows 7 is what Windows Vista should have been. I hope that it lives up to its hype. But either way, I would like to have an OS that will allow me to fully utilize more than 3.25GB of RAM and DirectX 10/11.

The copy I have is only an upgrade license rather than the full license, however, as long as you have a legit copy of Windows XP or Vista it should work without issue. I just reformatted my hard drive to have a clean instillation of Windows 7, and I will know later today if it actually works or if I’ll have to reinstall Windows XP so that I can install 7 on top of it.

Ooh.. That's good to know. I was looking to get a copy of Windows 7 as I hear a lot of good things about it. Doing the upgrade isn't that big of a deal.

Hi Anonymous, no I really don't want to be part of your online scam, unless I'm on the profiting end of the deal. But that leads to moral qualms of mine that I probably wouldn't get over. You say that you take $2,000 per day, and I say that that's just not nice.

To Anonymous #2 and kiramatali shah, I would apprecite if you did not post links to your various "get rich quick" schemes on this blog. Yes I know that they are very useful for you to get rich quick, but you are not paid advertisers on this blog and therefore you may not "get rich quick" off whoever happens to see your links on this site.
