$40 for Win 7

What you have to anderstand it is verry big that is why you can't burn it ,you have to install it than after that you make a backup disc. if you know a lot about computer maybe you can try to burn it first when you going to do the downloading ,you gonna have to select your dvd or cd recoder .

You don't have to dowload it on a cd and it won't be possible (it will be to big [data],i mean a lot of Gigs) ,just make a backup cd right after the instalation any way a little window will pop up infront of you to invite to do that ,don't do it on cds but on dvds and you 'll need 2 or 3 dvds to do it .

Me, I've heard that people have had trouble gettig the win7 offer for students. Also keep in mind that they're giving you a download not a physical cd so you'll have to burn it. Your choice. I'd do it but just make sure you burn it to a cd so you'll have a backup if your pc crashes

brownman, when you get the "student special" like me wants, they only give you a download of the operating system not a disk so you'd have to burn it.

Definitely a great price but I'm still on XP.

Take it man but make sure it is ( 64 bit ) bro .

Umm before you tell him to "take the 64 bit OS ' you might want to "ASK HIM" if his computer is a 64-bit machine BEFORE you tell him to buy it. Just a thought...................................

Well... regardless, you'd be foolish to not buy Win 7 for $40. I mean if nothing else resell it and make some money.

That would be a felony if I'm not mistaken. I do know it's illegal, just not sure to what extent.

Actually you do have to burn it to a dvd. That's the only way you can load win7 or any windows for that matter, because you have to tell the computer to boot from the dvd. I burned my copy of win7 professional (x64) to a dvd and it fit on it. dvd's (+ or - r's) hold 4.7gb of space on them, and the windows 7.iso is only 3gb. it will work. but yes, as brownman said, make a backup disc too just in case something happens to the original.

If you have an external hard drive save a copy of the iso there too

You cant sell a downloaded OS. Selling anything thats homemade and burned is a big no no. If its a retail DVD your legal.. you can sell it on amazon or ebay. Used or new. OEM's are not really legal either unless you provide some kind of computer hardware with it and even then ebay yanks alot of auctions that do that even tho alot of sellers get away with it. Ebay cant babysit everybody altho it trys to. Now if you had a 40$ retail dvd of win 7 then ya selling it would be great if you didnt want to use it yourself. However Im fairly certain that NOBODY is handing out 40$ dvd's of win 7 student or not. That would be like the school handing out money ..money they dont have to hand out.

I didn't read the whole thread.. I figured for whatever reason he could get a DVD version for $40.

Win 7 is going go be an excellent OS especially after SP1... why wouldn't you take advantage?

Ummm....so many questions..guess i better start answering..

win 7 is about 2.5 GB, my dl bandwith per month is about 500 GB
yes, i planto keep a back up of it...

when vista came out, I made something i honor of how bad it was compared to xp. My thoughts changed when 7 came along

USE THE BEST
*Mac for graphics
*Linux for Servers
*Palm for mobility
*Windows for Solitaire

Oh, I'll just tell you that not a lot of programs utilize XP 64 bit. That was how I felt about Vista though

He means he's getting the (x64) version of win7, not XP 64-bit.

and ME, you have a bandwidth limit? dang that's gotta suck.

So your High School is offering Windows 7 for $40?
Lucky you, my HS never did anything like that...but my College offers Windows 7 for free so can't beat that

You honestly think someone is gonna exceed 500Gb of bandwidth/month...Thats a lot of illegal downloading to fill that up
