Awesome!
I just got today an obscure, hard to find, out of "print" japanese app-thing which I was looking for over an year now thanks to torrents!
Bit surprizing even, considering how torrents aren't exactly good for rare and obscure stuff... but it had one single lonely active seed, took almost a day for 500Mb file, but it's here now!
And no, it's not porn... or it would've been easy to find.
The reason for my misunderstanding is because I am getting OEM upgrades for the systems that I purchased this year, and as such, the manufacturers are sending me fresh copies.

@David Han: The problem is that if you didn't pay, it would (currently) be good for only 30 days, since you need an activation key to unlock it past that date. #windows7studentedition

@Soldier_CLE: no you can use this to upgrade XP. You just have to do a clean install, but you only have to pay the $30 for a key. #windows7studentedition

As a few others have been saying, the download seems to fail at or around the 20mb mark. I've tried several times now and it's consistent. #windows7studentedition
is the link to the ISO above for home premium or professional? the student deal actually allowed for purchase of either version, so shouldn't there be more than one ISO link? #windows7studentedition
@Scott Morrison: Likely, if this is like the retail release, the disc is the same for both versions. It's the key that's entered that determines which version gets installed. #windows7studentedition
@AlphaTeam: Actually, you are asked for the key during installation, but you can skip it until later if you wish. If you skip the key, you have to manually choose which version you're installing. #windows7studentedition
One advantage the mac has over windows is in the way applications are managed. On a mac, when backing up all your stuff for migration to a new mac or a clean OS install, whether using time machine or not, it is relatively straight forward for all your apps to be copied over as a part of the backup...there's no registrey mucking stuff up. #ninite
@TheCrudMan: It's good and bad. While that does offer a heavy bit of convenience, I sort of need the opportunity to have my system wiped clean. after many months of installing applications for one-time use and then never uninstalling them. I get to start at the beginning again and only crowd my hard drive and registry with the applications as I need them. #ninite
Actually, using their menu on the web site you build an installer using only the apps you want. Even if it is only 5 or 6, it is easier than finding them on your own.
Good app. It will be the first I run when my Win7 disc arrives. #ninite
wow, I had already been using the older "stable" build of Chrome for linux, but this new version is MUCH faster... We'll see how stable it is... #chromeos
@Rosa:
The way your first paragraph (the one displayed on the index) is worded, I got the impression that Amazon was not offering redelivery with your annotations. "in lieu" means instead. You should have said "either $30 or redelivery with your annotations in tact".
That's a nicely worded, genuine apology (backed with cash). I personally would have let sleeping dogs lie, but I'm impressed that they're going through this much trouble to compensate people.
"We will use the scar tissue from this painful mistake to help make better decisions going forward"
Wow this guy likes to take his metaphors just a bit too far.
And how much is 1984 for Kindle. Surely it's nowhere near the $30 compensation they;re offering.

Again, thank you all for the clarity on this matter : ) #windows7studentedition

XP users would require a full version, along with a fresh install. #windows7studentedition
