pyrochild 363 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yes, but then you lose the enormous security benefit that UAC provides. Windows 7's UAC is much smarter about things like that.

Rick Brewster 1,792 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/window ... ows-7.aspx Whoa :shock: $30 for a copy of Win7 if you're a student. I think that's cheaper than I can get it for, as an employee!

I think that's cheaper than I can get it for, as an employee! I was just checking that out earlier, I'll totally go for that, so long as I'm eligible. Posting from the W7 RC, incidently.

DarkShock 49 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Wow that's sweet. Thank goodness I just started college. Looks like Microsoft is really trying to get people to upgrade. I checked the page to order it, but it shows Windows 7 Home Premium for students. Not Pro.

Simon Brown 46 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I checked the page to order it, but it shows Windows 7 Home Premium for students. Not Pro. A few months ago, I pre-ordered pro thinking it'd mean something similar to the pro editions of XP and Vista, but later realised that the most useful (IMAO) extra feature it had was XP Mode.

Sozo 22 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 XP Mode doesn't really matter all that much to me. I can get virtual XP installations through my computer lab. Also, I'm eligible! Yeah! Quote Placeholder, new signature under construction. Link to post Share on other sites

A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales.

aguba 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I used this to get a free Windows 7 upgrade. If you buy Vista from June 26, '09 to Jan 26, '10 you qualify for a free upgrade by typing in the product key on the box. However, I bought my Vista upgrade over a year ago and my product key still worked. You guys may wanna check it out. Quote aguba.deviantart Link to post Share on other sites

impossible9 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I've recently bought Windows Vista Ultimate from the Microsoft Store, but i'm not exactly sure how will i get hold of my free Windows 7 once it's out. XD I read about requesting it to be shipped or something similar. Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
