I went ahead and did it anyways, $30 for 64-bit Windows 7 Pro is hard to pass up. Downloading as I type
I heard Windows 7 Crashes up to 30% faster and even calls tech support.
Couldn;t pass this one up. Was the Late Night Top Ten contest question. Top Ten New Features Of Windows 7.
This weeks is Top Ten Contest Cuestion. Little known Facts About Sesame Street. I went with Oscar the Grouch and Recycling. It would just be better having him throw it out. (of his can).

its linux/open source, and you can literally make the the OS do ANYTHING you want it to. You can download any application for free, or even create your own. Only thing it hates itunes and the program for my guitar POD - so what i do is use a program from sun microsystems called "sun virtual box" - which allows you to create an additional virtual hard drive partition - I then installed Windows XP on that virtual drive, and now whenever the tiny chance that Ubuntu actually won't work with something happens I just click on virtual box, and it boots and loads windows XP in a window for me, and yes it actually talks with the usb ports and shit. It's really fucking out there. YOu can name the OS's that you install on the virtual partition whatever you want - I named the OS "weedXP"

Linux is an inconvenient waste of time for the majority of computer users. Windows 7 is a massive improvement over Vista and I actually prefer it to XP. I highly recommend it, especially if you can get it for $30.

All you need is a .edu email address folks. As for linux, my dad runs ubuntu on his computer. Here is a pro/con list for a lamen:
pro: you aren't going to get viruses, all applications are freely available and open source, the OS is free, nobody else will know how to/want to use your computer
con: difficult to get used to the GUI, not all the apps are that great, compatibility, difficult for non-tech users to trouble shoot, don't think games work on linux to my knowledge (not 100%)
