I downloaded two free copies from MSDN....Waiting for third to come in the mail 
Now if only I had a pc to install one of them on...Kind of feel like I'm all dressed up and no where to go

My high end gaming PC is needing a Copy of Windows 7. I can trade you hundreds of old MSDN CDs (The newest thing is an MSDN corporate license Windows XP with unlimited activations, so its old) for your one Windows 7 disc 
If Steve doesn't feel like Santa today, I'll be buying Windows 7 around the beginning of the year once I settle into my new digs and get my new network and server all setup and running.
Right now all of my spare money is going towards buying new furniture

Eh I signed up to do a Win7 house party so I got a copy of Ultimate and a bunch of freebies from that oh and got a bunch of W7 related spam...lol Not a bad deal for posting some pics of the un-boxing and sending out a couple emails. Haven't actually made the switchover from the RC to the release yet, backing up and doing some other stuff first. Maybe next week

Bought it back in July on a promotion for Win 7 Ultimate for $99.00  Been running the beta on my lappy for quite some time. Plus, the beta won't expire till July next year. I'll get another copy then for it.

I picked up my copy from microcenter today. They had a pre-purchase deal in June for $39.99 that I had done.
I have RC7100 on a hdd sitting on my desk & the XP drives are currently in the PC. IDK went I'll get around to swapping everything. lol

Still running the RC-7100. It will be good for a while yet. Better than Vista anyways. Waiting for the Christmas sale for the 3 copies I need.

my laptop has been dying for the past year, and past few months has been going down the drain rapidly.
So I just waited long enough to be able to buy a laptop with w7 built in... no way in hell was I going to do an upgrade
