Even after discount, it's too expensive. If Microsoft pays me to use Windows maybe I'd be tempted to click that link, depends how much they are willing to pay. "

I am no Microsoft fan, but $49 is NOT too expensive. I am primarily a Linux user, but I do keep one Windows box around for stuff that I absolutely need Windows for - (gaming, but you knew that!). I purchased the Windows 7 Pro upgrade for $99. I felt it was a reasonable price. I'm afraid there are WAY too many people who feel software should be free (as in beer). I pay for my Free (as in freedom) software. I have probably spent several thousand dollars on Linux software, JUST so I can help the company out (Mandriva, Ubuntu, OpenOffice, etc). People have a right to demand Freedom, but not Freedumb!

I feel better now.
