Post by: TWCToday on September 22, 2009, 06:21:45 PM: Figured I would post this since we have a few college users. You may be eligible to get Windows 7 for just $29.99.

Check out the details here

Two years on my end, so consider yourself at least a little lucky :P

They had similar promotions for Vista if I recall. I imagine similar options will be around then ;)

Post by: Al on September 23, 2009, 11:44:03 PM: I've never used windows 7, is it worth upgrading from vista?

i've had vista for a couple of months now, it seems to be working properly for me.

also, if it is can you explain why? what's different? why's it better?

i'll probably pre-order soon after I figure out my financial situation sometime later this week/weekend. 29.99 isn't bad at all!

7 is much better for a variety of reasons. Its MUCH more efficient with system resources than Vista and im my experience much more stable. The UI has been cleaned up and perfected. It takes a tiny bit of getting used to it, but in the long run its much better. I highly encourage people to switch over to 7.
