    Windows 7 has some pretty trippy backgrounds. Seems like Microsoft downed some acid or something.

    They look awesome!

    yes, you need to purchase a CPU+MOBO or CPU+HDD or MOBO +HDD. Some retailers want you to purchase CPU+MOBO+HDD on the same invoice to qualify for an OEM Windows kit. A bit of a gray area these bloody rules...

    not really a grey area

    according to microsoft

    End User Software License Terms The primary reason for the above licensing rule is due to the End User Software License Terms and the support of the software covered by those End User Software License Terms:

    • The End User Software License Terms are a set of usage rights granted to the end user by the PC manufacturer. It relates to rights for that software only as installed on that particular PC.
    • The system builder is required to support the software on that individual PC. However, Microsoft understands that end users, over time, upgrade their PCs with different components. Therefore, one base component needs to be identified that, as long as it is "left standing," defines the original PC. The motherboard is the logical choice.
    • The motherboard contains the CPU and is the "heart and soul" of the PC. When the motherboard is replaced—for reasons other than a defect—a new PC is essentially created. The original system builder did not manufacture this PC and, therefore, cannot be expected to support it.

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Taking advantage of my Uni faculty being in the MSDNAA... Also took advantage at the fact that Monash University gives you two email addresses one with .edu and the other with .edu.au LOL so they both work.

    = 3 copies for me Click here to enlarge

    Except I have an all-Apple household so I only really need 1 copy
