Nope, there is no provision for MS to revoke the license. Pictures of people eating food gets messy! :) And you can see that, there are 10 people who are not camera shy ;)

Why are you guys asking for Window 7 keys? Do you already have the software? If you have it by legal means, you should already have the key. And if it is, by the other way round, well then this is not the right place to ask ;)

Its 7000 plus tax. So about 7.3k. If this is quite cheap to you, then buy me a copy of it, why don't you? :-| PM me if you are interested. :wink:

Home BASIC costs about 6k, which is nonsense considering that it's a stripped down version. :x

i dont seem to get it... why people consider spending 6000 for software as getting robbed..
and they are fine with spending 6000 on hardware.. i think it is because u can easily get pirated software for free.... if hardware was available as easily ... by piracy.. then people would not even like to buy hardware calling it costly..
if u find windows 7 costly.. dont buy it..simple... use your old OS or get linux...
u will be able to survive without windows 7..

Windows 7 is best.Because it has better features then the other.And Windows 7 is a vast improvement from Vista as it takes up much less ram and has other optimizations such as fast booting times. I recommend Windows 7, and if you really don't want vista and don't want to wait for the final version of Windows 7, you can download a copy of the Release Candidate from the Microsoft website for free and use it up till June of 2010. I am working with the Release Candidate right now and so far I have absolutely no complaints, considering Im a heavy computer use with advanced software.

Well, Vista gets some of its bugs fixed n people buy that when sold as a new operating system , lol. :D

I have no interest in hurting other people's feelings, My post is just to showup the strategy of Microsoft.

First of all it is insanely high priced.
If people argue that it has more features than any other OS then let me tell you that most of those feature will not be discovered even by a advanced user much less by a basic home users.
And as for people saying that other people who think windows is costly should use Linux...it is free and there is surely a distro customised to the hilt for you (may you be anyone) so surely go for it.
