1350288 2013-07-31 08:43:00 Hi,
I was looking for Windows 7 on the link below and was wondering...

WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE??? :horrified

Even for the OEM version it is still $150
Is there anywhere where I can get it cheaper?

Thanks

BTW: Looking for an inexpensive IDE to SATA adaptor just for an optical drive. Which one of these do I need/want?

1350290 2013-07-31 08:54:00 Nope, does it apply if you are doing digital tech at high school? :D Nerdtastic (16693)

1350293 2013-07-31 09:37:00 Win7 is far cheaper than earlier versions of Windows were.. seems quite well-priced to me :P inphinity (7274)
1350294 2013-07-31 09:47:00 Might as well get Win8 32/64 bit from Pbtech. Its $148.35 Speedy Gonzales (78)
1350295 2013-07-31 09:50:00 Might as well get Win8 32/64 bit from Pbtech. Its $148.35

I have a big thing against Win8. Is it slowly getting better with updates?

1350296 2013-07-31 09:55:00 Nope. Might depend on the specs of the system. But it's fine with 8 GB ram. I had to go back to using metro tho, since classicshell kept crashing. I might leave it off till 8.1. Or reinstall version 4, when its out

To save me going to the charms bar / whatever it is, to restart / shutdown, I created shortcuts and pinned them to the taskbar :p
