<p>Can I haves your Windows 7 key code?</p>

<p>languages you eecs kids can understand:</p>

<p>java:
if(vista==sucks){
boolean 7key();
if(major==eecs)
7key=true;
return 7key;
}
else
system.out.println(“Gimme anyways”);</p>

<p>c’mon, I’m running vista on 1gb ram! You gotta feel sorry for me right?
pm me :]</p>

<p>If you’re running on 1GB of RAM, you have no use for Win7. Win7’s explorer+DWM can use up to 250MB depending on your settings :)</p>

<p>He’s running Vista right now. The dramatic reduction in RAM usage was one of the major marketing points for 7.</p>

<p>Your post does not compute.</p>

<p>EDIT: Indeed, it appears that 7 would likely consume approximately half the RAM Vista does (not counting the dynamic RAM usage built into the OS, but it’s still MASSIVELY more efficient).</p>

<p>Not to mention, all the new shiny stuff… :smiley:
I’ve also wanted to change some stuff going into a new OS. Sorta like overdue spring cleaning of programs and settings etc. </p>

<p>It would be really awesome for somebody to offer.
I heard other engineering departments give them out too… so… really, not just eecs kids, anyone… ?</p>

<p>You can buy a key on Ebay for around $15 and just download an iso of the disc.</p>

<p>Umm, you could have just done the $30 student promotion for Windows 7. That’s what I did.</p>

<p>Also, some EE classes require you to use Windows and many Mac using EECS majors have dual boot their Macs (thus they need their CD keys.)</p>

7

<p>EECS people get one key for both 64 bit Windows 7 and 32 bit Windows 7. So even if they are dual booting, they may still have a key to spare. However, is there a good reason why you cannot just buy Windows 7?</p>

<p>Just change your major to EECS. All your life problems will be solved :)</p>

<p>@jonnosferatu: I didn’t say anything about Vista. I’m just saying that Win7 system services + some eye candy takes up 250MB. Moreover, it was a subtle hint to try an OS with a smaller memory footprint. Trust me, I’m familiar enough with Win7’s leaps over Vista.</p>

11

<p>My laptop crashed and I lost everything. I have to reinstall the OS, but I don’t have a Windows Vista or Windows 7 CD/key. Where can I get the best deal on either?</p>

12

<p>You know you just need to be enrolled in any EE/CS class to get MSDNAA? I think Haas gets it too though I might be wrong about that. Anyway go take CS9*, I think there’s even one that’s not about programming at all.</p>

<p>… and RAM is not too expensive either. For $20~30 you can get a 2GB stick. It’s a really worthwhile investment.</p>

<p>You can get Windows 7 Professional for $64.95 here [Microsoft</a> Office Discount for US Students -The Ultimate Steal- Office 2007 Software for $59.95](<a href=“http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx]Microsoft”>http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx)</p>

<p>Do you just need a key or windows 7 in general?</p>

<p>Pm me I may be able to help.</p>

15

<p>actually, EECS kids get 4 keys, 64-bit and 32-bit keys for english and chinese versions. I’ve heard that you can use the chinese key for the english install. </p>

<p>Or, get more ram. but if ur laptop is old and uses DDR ram, it’ll probably be more expensive than $20-$30.</p>

<p>Better yet, use XP! It’s old, but not dead.</p>
