Sad indeed... I don't have allot of time on my hands and been out of the PC scene... I'm trying to make a comeback. Lets see if we can turn this around!

Yeah, the site has gone quiet. No new threads, and the news posts I (and others) have been posting aren;t bing updated as news so why would anyone return?

The cheapest I have seen Win 7 Pro for is R1400 from Matrix. But I got one question.....Is this legit? like do you get a proper cd key? Cause I have this Windows 7 Ultimate that installs....and activates.....Even passes "Windows Genuine Advantage"..... you know.....I'll give it to you....Just gimme a DVD.....


That doesn't sound right! I want to make sure I do this the right way! Win7 is a fantastic priduce and I'll happily pay money for it.

Well, anyone would pay good money for a fantastic priduce. It just makes sense.

The fact that his copy just installs perfectly and activates when it's just a copied DVD def doesn;t sound legitimate!

I think the deal I first posted is the best I've found so far. I did some intrawebs trawling last night and didn't find any better pricing....

I can get you a legit key for Win7 Pro for about R500, that the US Student price for key and download, but the key should work on any retail version of Win7 Pro to install. I can only get one though

Only 1 cuz you need a student email account to give them when you buy it, and I've only got the 1 student email account Well 1 left anyways haha I had 2 emails at my old school that I've already used, and I have the email for my new school which hasn't been used yet. The downside of course is you only get the key (and the 1 time download) so no manual or anything, but like I said it works fine with a burned copy of the installed disc so it's not that big of a deal. If you want it I can get it for you?

OK, I'm very keen! I've just emailed 2 other friends of mine in the US to see if they could do the same as I am looking for two copies. Do you have a South African bank acc where I could transfer you the bucks?

Do you know if it's the full retail version? ie. Would i be able to un-install it and then re-install on a different machine if I bought a new PC etc? My copy of Vista gave me huge issues like that!

I just had a look at it, Microsoft's website says that it's a "Perpetual Upgrade" Which I guess means you can install it as long as you already own a license of XP/Vista. But they don't any info past that :\ So I'm not sure if it would allow you to install on multiple machines, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Hmmm, ok, it's a really good option! Thanks Aike, let me have a few days to keep on checking around. I mate of mine in the US can also get some for me for a pretty good price (Home Premium OEM edition for $105 from newegg)

Lol Enigma, I was talking about the cracked / pirated windows 7 (havent installed it as I want the original), sorry was only joking. Where did you get this price from Enigma? Really looking towards getting it now.

LOL, no stress mate. It's all good, it's difficult to judge tone over text sometimes.

I asked around and received a recomendation of a gentleman called Sajay Ramjee who's a MSDN reseller, his addy is: sajay(dot)ramjee(at)gmail(dot)com. You are welcome to contact hiim. I've never purchased from him before so don't have any experience with dealings with him.

Otherwise, I think I am going to buy thru Aike or either a friend of mine in the US. I haven't quite decided yet

Apologies.

Hmmm might be an option. Well I'm sorta still looking for a reason to buy Windows 7, apart from the obvious. But like a "I'm stuck in a corner and need to buy Win 7 to get out" kinda reason.
