He used the Home version?

He owned his own island, he could at least go for Professional!

I remember Windows 7's editions being a complete mess, but a come on!

Either ask your IT guy or your friend Billy G, both will laugh at you for picking a Home version when you have the money to go pro.

What a fucking loser.

Funny enough I got 7 ultimate for free by having a Microsoft themed Tupperware party and using their party invite platform. They sent me a box with free copy and ms colored streamers and windows 7 napkins. I still have the napkins new and sealed. Had to take like 4 pictures with my friends around a laptop I think. Not a bad trade for the best version of 7. I don’t think they’d ever get people to do the same for the newer OS’s. 7 was one of the good ones

Just sayin, if you host a Linux install party you can get a copy of most Linux distributions for free. You can also get it for free if you don't host a Linux install party, but that's minor details.

Yeah, but no sexy tux napkins

Everyday is a Linux party here! Been running gentoo for like 20 years on my server box, which has now grown a couple more boxes in swarm config and my wife’s machine is now mint.
