Windows 7 $30

Meh, i could get it at 0$ legally through Microsoft Development Network Academic Alliance (MSDN AA?) here at Univ.

Anyway... i dont like this "new" vista release. I tried the release candidate (ok bit before becoming done to launch) and i cannot even install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (ok ok, win7 i know that it's a dangeorus application! xD).

A OS that to solve back compatibility issues (4 winXP) developped a updated version of Ms virtual PC and do all within a virtual machine OS (with the perfomance lost there) doesnt look good. And surprise, that's not included in bundled packet. You have to download it from the net. They suggest to keep that virtual machine hibernated to not have to restart each time you need (wait, wasnt that meant to use only one puntual time?)

Two days ago conference here at college ("Win7 for devs") wasnt as brilliant as one could expect xD.

PS: of course, i got win, but i prefer xp. Or mac, or some linux/bsd flavour.
