Its actually designed to run smoothly on older hardware unlike Vista.

Good looks Man....I'm on this.

what if you set it so the school will send you emails to an out of school site like AOL?

If I currently Vista 32-bit I can only get Win 7 32-bit right?

 

[ubuibeme]

I wonder if my sound will come back on my Sony Vaio if I install Windows 7? I currently have Vista

Anyone know?

it depends on your processor not your current processor. you might be able to run 64 but you never have.

I'm guessing that i would be better off being safe and getting the 32-bit.

Nice

 

[primetime]

Awesome.

 

[hyphysole]

ive never upgraded before on a computer. When you upgrade, are your files still saved?

 

[ballinamillion1]

I'm really happy for you and all op and I'll let you finish but HybridSoldier23 had one of the best windows 7 threads of all time.

at me for using that

 

[kicktionair]

Is there a legit check involved?

 

[hollakid619]

$29 for EVERYONE

 

[aka king arthur]

so if i got vista now and am a student all i do is put in my email and buy then

then download it and it runs

will i lose all my software?

is this the offical windows 7 or a beta?

 

[dr spaceman]

Nice. good lookin out. Home premium can't join a network domain though? Must be one those that you'd download after installing. pro it is.

For the 10000th time, Macs don't make jack on their software, it's all about the hardware. That is why it is $29.

 

[hueyp in louiev]

Microsoft doesn't make hardware.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]
