Windows 7 for £30

Anybody who pre-ordered Windows can ditch that order now, cause there's an even better one out (Well, it will be next week)

For a limited time, Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional will be available for only £30. This offer is only for students, hence why it's in here.

This is the site you'll need to go to.

    Note: you will need a valid .ac.uk email address and this is the upgrade version so you will need to be running a legal version of XP or Vista to upgrade from.

    Good deal though :)
  • Is this just downloaded straight onto your computer then or do they send you out a disk?

    I'm getting it for free as a family member is doing a Microsoft course at Uni just now. :dances:
    Can't wait, it looks good.

  • Just out of interest does anyone know if it will be more compatible with certain things as we've had a lot of problems with Windows Vista and downloads and drivers etc that were fine on XP.

    I haven't encountered any compatibility issues. As a rule of thumb, anything that works in Vista will work in 7.

    Can anyone confirm this? I know with MS Office for students you could also pay a bit extra for a disk to be sent out in case you had to re-install.

    You can wait until next Thurs to find out? :D

    I know the MSDN version (which if you are a computing student you should have access through uni to! And its a free copy!), you have to download and then put it on DVD yourself.

    Cool. I wasn't going to bother upgrading (being a poor student), but it's too good an offer to turn down. :)
