I guess its a "get you hooked" and then in a year when you are dependent on it BAM! –“Money please” to keep your system working

Similar to the way many drug dealers work ;)

I quite like the idea, we're talking about getting Windows 7 anyway and it'd be really nice to try it out first before we make the leap and spend money on it. Do you know if there are any restrictions? Is it one copy per user or something? I couldn't find the info on the Clicky Linky.

Yeah - they refer to the customers as “users,” issue “patches” and “fixes” to make things “better”.

But why haven't they released the prices yet?

Maybe they have the millionaire's club idea that "if you have to ask, you can't afford it"?

The install DVDs are made out of compacted cocaine.

Brilliant move by Microsoft.

If Windows 7 is half as good as people say then word of mouth will sell and sell.

I think I will download it and set it up to dual boot from my PC at home

The only issue I might have is if I get to use it to much I may end up being hooked
