| Windows 7 promotion: $30 for students Microsoft is offering college students Windows 7 for $29.99... Interestingly, Microsoft also has something to say about upgrading from previous versions: "To upgrade easily from Windows Vista, you should upgrade to the same version you currently have in Windows 7. For example, if you’re moving from Windows Vista Home Premium with 32-bit software, it would be easiest to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium with 32-bit software"... “Upgrading a PC with Windows XP to Windows 7 is an involved process. If you’re at all uncomfortable with it, please consider having the upgrade done by a local PC or electronics retailer.” Read the story here
