WIN 7 PRO $30 (need .EDU email)

Why? Did you not understand? Why would I buy an OS when they cant even figure out how to allow people to make gamma changes....Everything else worked great, apart from slightly lower fps as mentioned. :thumbsdown: for you for not being able to comprehend what I was saying.

im able to change my gamma easily. you probably just had some shit driver from nvidia or simply just do not know how - and decided to blame windows 7 because you felt like going against the grain and talking up windows xp. lollies. gg.

So how does this work since it's an upgrade version? Can I download it and burn it to a dvd and make it a full/bootable version to be used for a clean install?

EDIT: Apparently the upgrade version can be used as a full version...

Definitely nice for those with .edu accounts. Id buy one myself, but I found win7 to have some serious gaming flaws, so I reverted back to XP. Fail Microsoft in that respect. They lost my purchase.

FUD

I have a .edu address but am no longer a student and thus technically no longer eligible.....sigh.....ethics.

Good deal though for those who meet the criteria.

it certainly can be used to perform a clean install. But it will NOT take the upgrade cd-key that they give you. You will have to call them up or hack the OS to get it to accept the key.

This is speaking from personal experience as I just reinstalled windows using their ISO and the cd-key last night.

You will get this error message if you try and activate it after performing a clean install: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...04f061-activation-error-on-windows-7-upgrade/
