Want Windows 7?
by Dan on Sep.30, 2009, under Software, Tech
Ok, so Windows 7 is on the way and if you use a computer at all and are running XP or Vista, you’ll want to upgrade. Not only are the problems from Vista fixed, Windows 7 will run faster on the same hardware than Windows XP! If none of this is making sense, just take my word for it.
Too expensive?- you might wonder…
No.
If you’re a student, head over to http://win741.com/ where you can purchase Windows 7 Home Premium (what I recommend for most people) for $29.99!
If you aren’t a student, you can find copies for sale at Newegg
Home Premium: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116754 $99.99
Professional: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116758 $114.99 after code WIN7PRO20
Ultimate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116762 $144.99 after code WIN7ULT30
Act fast though, the codes expire on 10/3

@Jason M, Steam works on 7.. Been running 7 Professional RTM for ~2 weeks now and haven’t had a problem other than Steam servers being down last night.
