Amazon.com has the best price on Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade software that I’ve ever seen right now, for $99.99 you get the 3-user license MS Windows 7 Premium upgrade. This means you can use the Upgrade software on 3 different computers running an older Windows version. Usually this Windows 7 upgrade “family pack” software costs $149.99, so in effect you’re getting a 33% discount here. Also, Amazon offers free shipping on orders over $25 and no tax in most states so your total comes to $99.99.
For those students still running Windows Vista, you can really benefit from upgrading to the latest Windows 7 OS. It’s much faster and cleaner than the clunky Windows Vista and makes things such as networking home PCs much easier. Furthermore a lot of the graphical elements such as “Snap” and “Peek” make using a computer more usable when dealing with multiple open windows.
If you live in a dorm or have a bunch of room mates you could get together a couple of other people and split the cost of the Windows 7 upgrade 3-ways so the total for each of you comes to $33.33. That’s better than the Windows 7 Student discount offer of $64.95, you also get disks with this purchase and it is not a download, most people prefer having disk copies of operating systems since it’s such an important piece of software.
The Windows upgrade on Amazon for 99.99 is no longer. The price has changed to 123.99.
