I do own a legit version. Now if only the deal was available in Kanada. I have seen it all over the U.S. sites, but the Kanadian sites have no mention of it. I'll have to give it a few days, we're always behind.

Win7 Pro give automatic backup, extended support for XP mode(? more memory to run more apps?) and "Domain Join" which I don't know but guess it is a business environment intra-network system. Win7 Ultimate adds Bitlocker (drive data encyption) and ability to switch languages of the OS (to some but maybe not all available languages). For example I don't think the American Ultimate edition can switch into Japanese for the systems language. The only one that makes sense for me is either the Japanese or English edition Win7 premium. |

Windows 7 should be worth the price, especially for the OEM version. Even the beta was far faster and more polished than Vista.

Whats really criminal is how much MS charge per retail copy of a OS, yet HP, Dell, and all other mass producers get sold copies of Windows for pennies that still give MS billions.

Fair play man. If Brown was standing in front of me right now I'd punch him in the face for all the regular folk out there the government is screwing. Repeatedly.

IF you are doing the beta testing of 7, you save 50% off the price of any version of windows 7, which is pretty cool.

If you have the RC, can you just buy and install the upgrade? Also, I thought they were doing away with the different versions and were going to just have one...

I was wondering.... if you have an OEM license copy (of vista for instance) and buy a retail upgrade (7), are you still held by the OEM licence or can you install it on a different computer?

Technically you are not allowed. Could you get away with it? Probably pretty easily.

you can upgrade from XP to 7 right? i do have a retail copy of XP. it's really old (pre-SP) and it's a prick to install because windows update takes a shafting.

I don't know if this is just FUD or if MS really has technology in place now to deactive both installs if the license is "invalid". Anyone know for certain, or have experience? If we don't online register we might avoid the issue though, but if we do that we might as well just get a pirated copy and not buy an OEM copy, since from MS perspective, they are equal. Of course if MS was selling legal copies of Win7 for $35 or $50 or even $75 then this really would not be an issue. It is just hard to justify spending more on the OS than the motherboard.

System Specs
A couple of people have said it is a "lousy" upgrade disc. Would someone please explain why the upgrade disc is worse than the full version disc. I am running Vista 64 Ultimate but would like to upgrade to the Pro 7. Does anyone know if the Ultimate version is worth the extra moola. Thanx.
