I understand Windows 7 takes the improvements of Vista and stabilizes and streamlines everything.

I would say that Windows 7 is more like Mac... but Fred would delete it.

I previously used Vista Ultimate and this is a true upgrade, especially in terms of speed and reliability. The release candidate has been quite stable, so I won't have the usual "Wait until Service Pack 1" approach.

Does the discount apply to professors as well (with a .edu address)?

Please, no useless "get a Mac" or "use Linux" posts. They will be immediately deleted. | My college got an edu domain so the students could partake of offers such as these. Even though I don't use Windows this is nt a bad deal from MS wonder what the catch is -----Added 9/29/2009 at 07:11:27 EST----- Quote:

"from MS wonder what the catch is"
They think if they get you hooked on student products you'll be more inclined to use their professional products after you graduate(for more money, of course).

If it's not (which Redeemer isn't), you should then click the link at the top of the page where you can give them info on the school. They'll probably let you have the deal anyway, if you can send in a proof of payment for courses, or a class list. Quote:

FTR, this is a full retail version of Windows 7 -- it is not an "upgrade" version. And you can get Pro for the same price if you click the "Need to connect to your school's network? Click Here" link when you are adding Home Premium to your shopping cart.
Cheers.
BTW, you have the option of upgrading or doing a custom installation (clean install/mutli-boot).

I would also like to add that Australian TAFE or University students can get a similar deal here. I just found out about it myself and snagged both Office Ultimate 2007 (not upgrade) and Windows 7 Professional Upgrade together for $160 AUD. That includes both digital download and a boxed copy mailed to me.
Through the same offer, you can get Office Visio and the Language Pack too, although I had no use for them.
Similar offers are available for a variety of countries, which you can check by going to that page and clicking the flag in the top-right corner.
