[Callidus]

[mr. Strawberry]

i don't know just wondering

[nash1979]

sounds to me like your after a bit of free nova postage!!!

[mr. Strawberry]

no i was thinking about how much mine cost and thought how many people buy this :)

[Callidus]

I got mine on the £40 student deal, otherwise wouldn't have bothered and probably stuck with xp/linux

[mr. Strawberry]

o mine was £154.99

[TheMadDutchDude]

Free for me! :p I have my ways...... LOL

I don't use it anymore anyway, I use XP.

[mr. Strawberry]

lol did u use pirate bay because i was going to but then my old OS wouldn't work so i ended up buying it lol

[Baggpuss]

mine was got before they ramped up the price, so was had for around £100

[TheMadDutchDude]

I can't remember what I used to download it. All I know is that it isn't in my room anymore (can't find it!)

On a seperate note to this, looking at your signature, Steven... Why do you want 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive? Your money would be far better suited on a new graphics card!

possibly does a lot of image work and games rarely ? does seem somewhat unabalanced but I guess that's pc's for you. we all get the benefit of picking and choosing what we require to suit our own ends best

Nah, no one ramped up the price... MS is a US company that sells in dollars.

Was ~£105 back in the day when Exchange rate was 2.0 (aka $210)

Now with the dollar dropping below 1.4 in recent weeks... that same $210 from Microsoft = £150.

**** economy.

Went up way before the pound started dropping in value, and it wasnt a steady thing either, just jumped up £50 overnight

[TheMadDutchDude]

That's England for you! :p

Ahh I see Steven. Maybe start a thread asking for some advice? I'm sure plenty of members will help you decide on what's best for your rig.

[mr. Strawberry]

yeah but i have chose most of my rigg and theres not alot left to choose :)but thanks for the advise

vista x64 here - I don't think I could change now if I wanted to.

[mr. Strawberry]

i think you can but it will remove everything from your hard drive

Vista Ultimate x64 Edition here.

Had it as part of Technet. One of the best operating systems I've used. I do like Windows 7 but the refusal to not have the classic start menu in there is very annoying for me.

[mr. Strawberry]

haven't tried windows 7 and don't know how even way i can't until my new computer is build because the one i'm using is my mums and she doesn't like me downloading on it :)
