I was just about to do this, i was filling out the credit card info but I decided to look into it a little bit more before I hit purchase and read that they pulled it. Now I got it for $40 canadian with the student deal. Pretty sweet deal / OS. | ||

Dear Students, Due to a large influx of NON-computing (IT) students joining ACM just to get a copy of Windows 7 Final Release, it had to be taken out of the Microsoft Developer Academic Alliance package offered to ACM Student Members. Windows 7 Beta remains among a LOT of other software. The Developer Academic Alliance is supposed to be JUST FOR COMPUTING-TYPE STUDENTS. Microsoft offers another package, Dream Spark, for those non-computing students. I encourage you to check out ACM Student Membership for "real" since we really do offer a great bargain — free e-mentoring, free software from other companies, the digital edition to Communications of the ACM, Crossroads Magazine, etc., etc. Have a look: [www.acm.org] Lillian Israel ACM Director of Membership Fuck. I try to be proactive by getting my IEEE membership early and end up with this? Fuck. If I buy it with the student pricing and MSDNAA decides to put it back on I will be super pissed. I shouldn't have to pay for 7 in any moral regard anyway, since Vista is such a POS they should be paying me for using it and dealing with bs every time it updates. | ||

I'm running XP 32bit right now, but I'd like to get a Win 7 64bit CD and do a clean install if possible. Yeah you can  , you can even download it and burn it on a DVD that would work. | ||

What is the best version of Windows 7 to get? I see 32bit, 64bit, Home Premium, Professional upgrade. Do I need original Vista to install or can I do a clean install from the Windows 7 file? | ||

Professional includes some extra things that involve network and server support. you can upgrade from vista or do a clean install | ||
