Want a free copy of Windows 7 Pro, legitimately?

Post by Libra Monkee »

Then free up your calendar on November 4th.
Microsoft is hosting The New Efficiency launch events in 25 cities between September 28, 2009 and November 9, 2009 for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Exchange 2010. All attendees will be receive a free copy of Windows 7 Professional. The events are targeted at IT professionals (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Exchange Server 2010) and developers (Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2).
They will be in DC (well, Tyson's Corner technically) on 4 Nov at AMC Tysons. But you do have to sit through a presentation. A 3 and a half hour presentation.

Would you like to know more?

EDIT: Looks like the local event is already filled up. But the one in Baltimore is still open on 9 Nov.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

^^I concur. That is definitely THE BEST free option available.

I've gotten these packages in the past - the Win 2003 Server I got was only good for 365 days and then it expired. Maybe they've changed their policy, maybe not.
