There may also be "MILITARY" discounts similar to the student discounts. I'll have to look into it. When I was going through my one of my distributor's web sites I came across an Office 2007 Military which was priced pretty ridiculously low.

Is 7 better than vista or xp?

I was looking into this also. I got my copy of Office 07 for 19 bucks I think.

Is 7 better than vista or xp?

7 is definitely better than Vista. They've changed the annoying (CONFIRM EVERYTHING) part of the OS so it's not quite so irritating. 7 is also faster than XP on identical hardware. There have been some changes to the taskbar. Let's see... most of the other changes are under the hood and really won't mean much to the average user (like dynamic driver provisioning).

[Exitspeed]

7 is so awesome.

[Goat Roper]

Yeah, 7 runs most my PCs now

I'm running 7 on an old ass Presario laptop. It won't run all the cool transparencies but the functionality is there.

I love the tool bar and being able to move two windows to half screens with just a drag of the mouse.

Just got this put on the wifes PC. Worth every penny of the 30. Any students on here wanna sell theirs? :D

[RanJer]

Just got it using Jeanna's sisters email account (luckily she has a Mac). Comp was quick before but it's running great with a complete revamp with 7. I wiped it and started over, after backing everything up. Well worth the $29 so far.

[Moparjim]

I am currently struggling with Vista issues on several of my PCs.

I would be allllll over this if anyone is a student that doesnt want theirs, or knows a student that would be willing to sell their copy!

[GTSLOW]

Shoot I will pay $50+ ! My wife did this. Wish we could have gotten two. Its the pro version too. Plus you can pick 32 or 64!!!!

I went with the Pro 32 Bit... Very nice! I may have a shot an another email or 2 to use...

One of my good friends at school has a Mac and she won't use the upgrade. I will ask her when I get back to school monday (I am sure she will be fine with it) if someone is interested in paying for the upgrade? Shoot me a PM if interested.

[JBs92Lude]

I will ask around as well to other friends. Hopefully I will be able to get few email addresses you guys can use. I will let you know.

[JBs92Lude]

Anyone else interested?

[88Nightmare]

id be interested

You are welcome, it is a hell of a deal. If you accidentally DL the "N" version ( European version, no media player) like I did no worries, they have a patch that fixes that.

[pOrk]

Just got the email to get this, whats the diff between 32 and 64?

[Korndogg]

^^^ do you have a 32bit or 64 bit processor?
