I would like to clarify what you said because I installed Win7 myself.
It comes in a box with DVDs for 32 and 64 bit. For a lot of people (not me) it may be hard to find out what version you want to install. The install took at least an hour of rebooting and took place in low resolution. Then you can create your account. Then you need to install updates (reboot). Then when you open windows again, THERE ARE MORE UPDATES WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO REBOOT AGAIN!!! Almost every time I open windows, there are updates. And even if I can read the license code, it's still a pain. And then I need to go hunting around the internet for all the apps I need.
So in short: no USB key, no 15 minute install, you don't get the apps you need preinstalled, and the license code IS a pain.
Don't bother with Windows. Get a Mac or Linux.
Even if they are paying for the right to get tech first, the reason that tech would exist is because Apple is paying to get it first. Everyone wins except Apple's competitors.:)

I've used both ubuntu and mint and have to say it's mint with all the quirks here.

You're anonymous so we don't know who you are. I've seen this exact post THREE TIMES and I'm sick of it.
Idiot. lol
This is something only microsoft would do
They can penetrate anything. If they can hack the senate, what's safe?
I agree.
Nuclear is a great power source. Sometimes stuff blows up but it is almost always because of human error.
