So apparently I missed the "deadline" for getting the student discount on Windows 7. I have been running the beta for about 6 months now and it will expire soon. The $120 on the standard operating system has me miffed. Seriously, its a fucking operating system that is a fix to the international clusterfuck called Windows Vista. I might just find my old Windows XP disk and run that. Its still better than Vista.
Eff you, microsoft. If it weren't for the fact that Apple laptops are so damned expensive, I'd have one of them out of sheer spite for you.
Oh, and discounted Office 2007 is a joke. 2003 was/is a better platform. I'll keep running that old stuff, thank you very much.
