Seven perfectly legal ways to get Windows 7 cheap (or even free)

Seven perfectly legal ways to get Windows 7 cheap (or even free) | Ed Bott%u2019s Microsoft Report | ZDNet.com. I installed Windows 7 on my backup computer, so that I could test it, and compatibility with my stuff, over time. I am still using Windows XP on my principal system. If it isn't broke, don't fix it, right? However, Windows 7 is sleek, fast and runs anything I throw at it. I will definitely be upgrading sometime in the next year or so. In the meantime, She Who Must Be Obeyed and the kids each have notebook computers. I was browsing at Office Depot yesterday, and discovered a promotion called Window 7 Family Pack upgrade. For $149, I got 3 Windows 7 licenses, and, since She Who Must Be Obeyed and Daughter both use Vista, the upgrade is very smooth. I upgraded one last night, and it brought all of the Vista programs and settings over with no problem. Son might be a problem, since he is a gamer, and loves XP. In any event, I have the licenses and the software available when they are ready. This ZDNet article will make you an expert on how to get Windows 7 for yourself. Happy Hunting.

If you son is a gamer, then he'll probably love Win 7, since it supports the higher DirectX graphics that the newer games need.
