All of the computer science students at University of Toronto also receives a crap load of free software and probably include Win7. Too bad I am not part of it.

yeah, I love MSDNAA. Expression Studio, Visual Studio and various Windows operating systems. All for free.

Though the administrator at my university is a bit slow... I had to email them 2-3 times before they finally fixed it. But now I'm also running win7 and loving it

Luckily I still have 3 classes left to take before I get my degree and my school is listed, but only the beta so I have to contact them either way there's potential....the reformat that's been waiting for ages might finally arrive! :D

Lol if i didn't have the risk of gettin my ass sued; I'd post the source code to the NT Research Kernel. But, since I do; I guess the computer science kids will have to get it themselves :p

Edit: I have no idea why you'd want a free copy of their SQL server though... Visual Studio... I mean seriously... (lol and Access, what a joke

)

Edit2: the lame thing is; that you can't update the build version if you were running beta... which means you'd have to do a complete reinstall, unless you mounted it as an ISO, and copied and made a link to the new Kernel... Like its not too hard to boot up the Research Kernel, so why not have an update system to replace the full Kernel?

If your computer has more than 4 gigs of ram, get the 64bit.

Just get the 32bit. Most software vendors still realize some on 32bit. 64bit only if you want to take advantage of some very specialized applications.

Awesome! Thanks for bringing this to my attention...

On a side note: I just got my laptop for college and it has Windows Vista 64bit, do you guys think Windows 7 would be a good upgrade from my current OS?

Hm I get a lot of free software through school, but I didn't know about this. Thanks. Although actually I'm getting a new laptop in a year so switching now probably isn't worth the effort.

My school didn't even know about this.

I went into the IT department and asked them about this and supposeably didn't have one idea what I was talking about :\ and my school is on that list.
