Keep this thread clean. Use only kind words <angel>
Remember, everything Microsoft makes is a gift >:D
This will just make it less expensive ::)
I got to see windows 7 at CES in January (thanks Duy) this year and it looks a lot like Vista but runs better.
You can turn off all the security nag screens if you want or leave them on, it has 3 levels ;)
It also has a Windows XP Mode ;D
Ok, got my copy yesterday ;D
The Windows 7 launch party was last night :P

Alan, certain colleges pair up with Microsoft via whats called the MSDN Academic Alliance. At CSULB, business students, namely Management Information Systems majors get to download the software for free which is covered in the tuition costs. You may want to ask Rebecca to see if her campus is offering such program, and if not, they usually still should have "student" discounts for software at their book stores.
I also have all versions available at my shop for a little cheaper than what you can usually find online.
