Windows 7 Ultimate

One way to get around the cost of Windows 7 (I think its $240, but that's just by memory) Is to purchase a new OEM computer that comes with the full version of Windows 7
Although the OS is still in the overall cost of the new computer hardware package, I believe it (just the OS part) is less than what you would pay for it by itself

There is suppose to be some trial version that will work till 2010...I would use it and hope a good deal comes out on 7 later.

If you have Vista its not worth the upgrade.

I have to agree id never pay 30-40% of my total PC build costs for a OS I only use to connect to the internet and play games on.

It's called Windows 7 Release Candidate. It's no longer available for Download - but if you can find a copy - I think you can still install and activate it.
 
Windows 7 RC keys are still available, so if you can find a download somewhere, you're good until June 2010. Starting March 1st, however, it will shut down every 2 hours to remind you it's time to purchase an OS.

The best buy for Windows 7 Ultimate would be to purchase Vista Ultimate OEM
for $189 HERE

I can only assume that if you purchase Vista Ultimate, that the upgrade that comes with it will be Windows 7 Ultimate.
 
Im running Windows 7 RC 1 64bit Build 7100 right now. Works great man
I also agree, no OS is worth 300 bux, maybe 150 tops. Microsoft gets away with it because of OEM computers. If it wasn't for them, their OS's wouldn't be bought.
