Re: Windows 7 Pricing
At those prices, any Windows XP user would be a fool to not get a Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.
Also, comparing the different Windows 7 versions, I have to say anybody who buys Professional or Ultimate is a fool, unless of course they run Active Directory on their home network.

pro can handle 192gb of ram, unlike the measly 16gb of home.
pro has network backup and file encryption
but yeah, for 99% of people, home premium is perfect.
also here's a great site with useful info:
so far I've learned:
+ the upgrade discs include both x86 and x64 versions. :thumbsup:
+ you can do a clean install with the upgrade disc, same as vista. :thumbsup:"Crunch's First Officer"

Re: Windows 7 Pricing
I upgraded to 7rc from XP and it works wonders, not only that it looks sexy, it has the layout of Vista, but without the memory hogging.
I'm just running 2GB of RAM and it runs fine, I want to get some more and see how nice it works...

Unless by 'hogging', you mean 'utilizing' your memory to improve performance with features such as superfetch.

Re: Windows 7 Pricing
Sticking with my volume licensed copy of XP until MS comes out with a compelling product for the price.
I'll start taking notes when ANY of my affiliate institutions start implementing OS 'upgrades'. Until then, I appreciate everyone who is in Microsoft's 'You Pay To Be A Beta Tester' program.
Brave, rich souls, the wonderful lot o' ya!
P.S. I like my Win 7 dual boot. It's a very nice improvement. It's also not worth splashing out for a home PC that's used to type emails and run DX9 class games. There's the challenge for MS: gimme something for my buckaroos, buckaroo.
