Windows 7 RTM now available to MSDN subscribers

Getting my copy of ultimate now

 

That and happy 3000th post to me

 

I am not a MSDN subscriber. I have to wait like everyone else.

 

Me either, when they started charging for our testing I said F that. When you get something for free for 6yrs then they charge you...

 

MSDN?

Not been charged for using the beta and rc here, what testing were you doing?

 

MSDN is the MicroSoft Developers Network. Basically the people that write programs for Windows.

 

Downloaded a copy today too..

Just in time since I was really getting annoyed with my pc rebooting every 2 hours

 

Is the free RC version expiring soon? I love it, and if the full version isn't out yet, this'll suck....

 

well they used to give the msdn subscription to you when you obtained an mcse but like I said that was probably 15yrs ago. nt 3.51. It was feedback on the RC's. I guess it got too expensive and they started charging.
EDIT:I may be using the wrong terminology as it is not the devolopers network. It may have been msdn subscription back in the day but notning more than a binder with eveything they offered in beta then all the rc's.

 

Yeah MSDN for developers is 5-6 k i think

 

WAY lower than that, every request for purchase of VS has it requested...not cheap but not that high.
We do buy more hardware/software than most companies out there.

 

HMM i just looked. My company paid 4999 for my sub.

 

does your company have upwards of 150mil for IT?
I will double check on Monday but I know it is not that much.

 

Yes a bit more.
