In one of the latest tactics from Microsoft they are offering free usage of Windows Enterprise for 90 days. Although it says you'll have to rebuild the system after those days for those than have a VLK all you have to do is change the key, not so sure about using a Ultimate key though. Technically this is aimed at businesses but...

throughout all the beta testing, windows 7 has been upgradeable without losing your data from beta release to beta release.

i have windows 7 on my system too, and it works like a charm... don't really know what they would want to fix for the final release since i havn't come across any major bugs other than the wireless taking some time after boot to find my wifi-gateway...

seriously a good operating system. brought me back to windows after using linux for 2 years...

You could have gotten the windows 7 RTM late august and it's valid until april too... I'm just happy i can get 7 ultimate for <$25


I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Make sure you check the option that you are some sort of developer or it will not allow you to download.

I got it for free, and unlimited installs. I installed it in a VM on both of my Macs. Don't plan on using it. Just have WIn7 installed for testing purposes.
