OOps...double posting.

#20, copy you re: Bitlocker & TPM.

I like the low low price of 0 via download, as opposed to the retarded costs.

I wouldn't even download this crap of DX11 worked on linux.

got 64-bit home professional for under $30 using the ladyfriend's university e-mail account.

There's also the Win7 Home Premium Family Pack (3 Upgrade Licenses) over at NewEgg for $149...

like i need more headaches

"And while your waiting for your copy,"

Even using this sentence you still couldnt determine that "your" doesnt mean the same thing in both instances? Holy baconnaise. Dont worry, "While my waiting for my copy" I'll be fine.

Don't all DVDs ship with the 32bit and 64bit versions?

two words: check Costco...

Might be a good buy if it wasn't OEM. Non-transferable software = no.

Win7 works flawlessly. The only complaint I have is the stupid power profiles popup only shows 2 options at a time.

Just for kicks I installed 7 on a decade old 700mhz pentium with 768 megs of 133mhz memory. Runs just the same as XP and no driver disks were needed.

I would also look into the Family pack.
"Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack for $149.99 from participating retailers or the Microsoft store. Use it to upgrade up to three PCs in your home."
It comes with both 32bit and 64bit disk in it.

oops did not read the second page of chat

Unless you're building your own computer, why would you buy an OS at retail? I can't see the benefit of buying a new OS for your current computer actually outweighing the hassle and price. And I'm even using vista. Just wait until it's time to buy a new computer.

UBUNTU LINUX 9.10 comes out next week, for FREE! Even earlier versions of Ubuntu beat Windows 7 so don't waste your money.
