is it? if so, is it worth it?


*edit: ok, so the better question is, is this a good deal? i'm currently on XP on my desktop and Vista on my laptop. is upgrading to Windows 7 something that would be more awesome?

they also have the Microsoft Professional 2010 for $80. i might get on that, too.

haven't been keeping up w/ Microsoft's products so i have no idea whether these are worth upgrading to

 

Windows 7 is the greatest OS ever made, for reals.

 

i can't tell if you're being sarcastic h:

 

Windows 7 smokes Vista in performance. It also makes machines running XP, faster.

The ability to organize and get to what you need is A+ ... highly, highly usable interface.



Apple had to pull their OSX vs Windows ads (featuring Justin Long) because Windows 7 is absolutely, 100%, legit.

 

weeerd. didn't know that. next time i'll try to keep my head from being buried in the sand about this stuff. thanks for the clarification buying this now

 

You won't regret it ... is the Windows 7 a fresh install version or an upgrade?

 

Windows 7 has done nothing but work flawlessly for me.

 

i love windows 7. but my system definitely runs slower now than it did on XP.

 

from the looks of things it looks like an upgrade. i'm downloading its Upgrade Advisor now

that is reassuring



*edit: another noob question: how can i tell if i need the 32bit or 64bit upgrade? :x

 

Depends on the processor you have.

$30 for 7...thats awesome.
