Darn... I know a Uni student whose could get it for me, but he has a Mac netbook... darn. Could I claim he has my comp and get it that way, or is there some security against that?

That was my 100th post, and I'm now an established member! Yay!

I gave the link to my neighbours son and he is delighted, he will be going for Windows 7 Pro.

Congrats Sycthus

Thank you!

So can you chose to go for either pro or home? It seems a bit odd that they are offering either for the same price. There must be a catch.

Well its not as if Microsoft cant afford to as i think there profit margin is quite good

Sycthus · Sycthus's Computer Specs

Yeah, just a bit you know

What with the credit crunch and all, it's amazing they've not asked to be bailed out yet. I'll see what I can do, £30 for a MS OS is phenomenal!

And anyway, Macs and netbooks are becoming more popular for uni students, and since you couldn't put 7 on a mac, and netbooks have no disk drive, not many students are going to be interested!
