Do note that these prices are exclusive of taxes.

[Krow]

So, 11.8k plus taxes for W7 Ultimate. Good job ripping us off M$!

[desiibond]

I remember MS saying that they will put win7 price atleast 15% lower than vista's price. now, vista home premium price is 6k for retail version that that of win7 is 7k+tax. That's ridiculous.

[Krow]

This is bull$h1t. These prices are just too much as usual. If M$ sells W7 Ultimate @ 5k and the others at 1k and 2k or so, then it would sell like hot cakes. No wonder Windows Vista retail copies were always in stock for the last 2 years.

[ramprasad]

Again the tax rates depend on the city

[thewisecrab]

Damn it!!!

This is waaay to expensive, I'm sticking to XP for now..
I'm wondering whether people will even consider upgrading

BTW can anybody PM me a link to Win7RC? I deleted the iso file by mistake

[desiibond]

I will purchase this one but thanks to the idiotic MS pricing, I need to save some cash to purchase this as I was expecting it to be more like a sub 5k product (7 home premium). and i don't want to purchase OEM.

[rhitwick]

I was planning to buy Win7, but I think now I have to "get" it...


b/w, guys let me tell you my usage, plz recommend me the proper version that I should look for if I buy,

-->Movie watching
-->Gaming (would d games released till now run in Win7?)
-->D/L(well, it does not depend on os I guess)
-->Video editing, Encoding ( once in a blue moon, but I would need them for sure)

It seems, Home Premium is good for me, what do u guys say? Do I need Professional?

And, what is that "Advanced File Management" thing mentioned here?

MS is giving away free Win 7 Enterprise. Visit MS website and you will find it free....If you do not find this then pm me. I will provide you the DL link...

rates too high, i think home edition should be around Rs 500/- , in that case i can dual boot my pc with genuine windows 7 + ubuntu.
or now ubuntu is better than using pirated windows

and I will use Ubuntu if Ubuntu community pays me 5000 rupees.

[saqib_khan]

lol desiibond.. BTW, why haven't you guys bought it from MSDNAA via ACM (If you all remember the offer..that 19 $ offer I am talking about). I am now using Win 7 Pro Genuine This is the first ever genuine OS I have seen in my life (yeah..its true)

[Charan]

The Price of W7 Pro is too high.. I was expecting it to be sub 9K. I think MS is trying to push people going for Pro to Ultimate. With only bitlock encryption only useful added advantage over Pro.!!

[Krow]

M$ is also deep pocket friendly.

[gxsaurav]

Why don't you guys go for Upgrade edition? They are nothing but retails editions anyway.

@ Charan. You can always contact me

[Charan]

^^ Clean installing a upgrade edition?

[Charan]

yes ofcourse!!.. why buy retail edition when one can clean install W7 using upgrade disk!! , I think many will start to buy the upgrade disk rather than the retail disk.. ha ha ..

[Krow]

Well said
:mrgr een:

[Charan]

^^ only thing to lookout for is that stores should not run out of the upgrade discs

[Krow]

I'm worried. The whole world will buy them. Maybe M$ will run short of DVD's to burn upgrade discs on. Maybe then they will give them on pendrives. Then even the pendrives will be out of stock... Damn, then what? Maybe we will get the W7 for free for making M$ the monopoly. Free download W7 full retail edition from M$ website.

[desiibond]

^^what if internet bandwidth too runs out due to many copying free edition???

[Krow]

Oh NO!!!! Damn, then people will walk from all over the world to grab their own copy... Then they will have only one other option. The entire source code will be up for free copy paste and every one can make their own Windows "Distro".

Tutorial: Clean Install Windows 7 Using Upgrade Disk

[desiibond]

^^good good. so, you found the link. but do remember that this is a hack and there is a good chance that the serial can be blocked by MS for illegal use. as a result, you will end up losing 5k bucks instead of saving 1000 bucks.

[Krow]

Nice link, Mr. Charan. Hmmm... M$ has always found a way of inconveniencing us poor users.

The trick is to change one field from 0 to 1 !!!,

there are many cases where one may have to use this method, like a completely crashed HDD. whether this method is legal or not is beyond scope of this thread. shall we discuss this in the tutorial thread?

[Charan]

Where can I buy the upgrade disk? O.o , im not eligible for free upgrade.... No online store for India !!

[Most Wanted]

Wow, everyone here talking about buying a win 7 pro and ultimate.
Look like a golgappa... Bazar me tahalne nikle, man hua to kha liya.
Are bhai logon 15000/- koi choti moti money nahi hai...
Koi kahta hai i am using genuine...
Wah wah kya kahne... crack karke genuine bana liya aur kate hain ki my windows is genuine...
I have remember many people here who were asking for free gprs tricks.."no money in the pocket, but we recommed genuine windows".
i know some peoples are honest here and everywhere but not all.
All the best.
