    Wasnt looking for it then. But £147 for an operating system is daylight robbery.

    Continuing on from last night, Windows 7 Home premium or professional can be obtained legally for £30 if you are a student.

    £147 for software that use you every day isn't bad.

    That works out at about 90p a week over the course of three years.

    Sure, it would be nice if it were cheaper, but it's hardly "daylight robbery". No one is forcing you to use it. If Windows 7 isn't worth the money, then stick with XP or Vista (or if they weren't worth the money either, Windows 95 or 98).

    I'm afraid it is daylight robbery. And that is not the way to work out if something is good value or not.

    I think £147 is daylight robbery considering you will be able to buy a new computer with it on for less than £300 in a couple of months.

    I also think that Googles new free OS will ensure the price comes down next year.

    Now how can I become a student!
