Will you actually buy windows 7?

    Microsoft gave us a taste of windows 7 during the live beta and well I am satisfied completely. The question is will any of you actually pay for windows 7? Or are you going to download it (warez) or simply buy a new computer with windows 7 oem version? I personally have never bought an operating system because I think they should be free, but I don't know this time Microsoft is dying and after years of their good operating systems (except windows ME) I might support the ol dinosaur.

    Yes. I'm planning to buy new laptop and will buy legal, genuine copy of Windows 7 with it.

    Developing any operating system is always a herculean task, so it's worth it. Isn't it?

    and to nihangshah the software engineers and developers behind the operating system itself get paid regardless if it's a hit or not so they don't care if you buy their product or not it's microsoft and its CEO's that care if you buy it or not so I'm not worried about helping out the engineers since I'm studying to become one myself

    I am looking at buying an i7, windows 7 and Office 14 all OEM next year. I am using open office now because Office 2007 retail is so expensive.

    I'll probably upgrade to Windows 7, but I won't buy it. Microsoft has enough of my money as it is.

    I'll most likely buy Windows 7


    it probably won't be more beneficial for me, but still.
