It matches the one on the outside of the screen

How much are people paying for Windows 7? Youre all mad.

I put Microsoft in my top hate bracket I deliberatly find cracks to screw them

Whereas theyre about the only company I dont ironically. Windows and Office are the things I use the most on a daily basis, so I can justify buying them.

Apps like Photoshop...expensive apps which you only occasionally use, for non-commercial things, is a grey area. Then there are expensive apps which cost a crapload (thousands) used in industry. I also find this a grey area, as my reasoning is that if employed by a company that uses it, they have paid for the licence already, what difference does it make if youre sat at the office or at home doing it. Admittedly some of these apps have floating licence thingymajigs so itd be technically possible for you to use it at home or work legitimately...

Plus for some reason I just think its asking for trouble using dodgy windows/office, given all the updates etc...

and yet you still use their software.....


Ill pay for Windows 7 probably - so far its been awesome. Im a big fan of Ubuntu but as an alternative for a browing laptop or something - its definitely not a replacement for Windows.

And who chose the awesome wallpaper? (:

You did, however I had already downloaded it for use.

As for Windows, I really dont see how anyone can think the £40 pre-order price half the forum seemed to buy it for could be considered anything but a bargain for a whole Operating System that allows you to use your computer. Its not just any piece of software.

If you are happy having an OS that is basically good for browsing the web, being a code monkey or writing a letter, great, let Ubuntu be your god. Or even OSX If you use your PC for everything including games you need Windows tbh, thats just how it is.

Im happy to spend less than half a ton on a legal OS that doesnt need butchering to get updates and such. Its one piece of software actually worth paying for.
