look at your laptop, and now back to mine. Now back at your laptop, and now back to mine. Sadly, it isn’t mine, but if you stop using ladies apple computers and switch to Windows 7, it could act like it’s mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on the internets downloading free software from dreamspark.com. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have a copy of that Office 2007 you love from itsnotcheating.com.au. Look at it again, the disks are now downloads of Windows 7.  Anything is possible when laptop runs Windows 7 and not apple. I’m on a boat,

Hey Guys,

I talked about the possibility of discounted Microsoft Certification and here it is!

How would you spend $81

Clothing? Music? A night out?

Or…

Become Microsoft Certified today to increase your chances of finding your dream job?

In this day and age, business is about differentiation.

By gaining a Microsoft Certification you are differentiating yourself from the crowd!

Don’t settle for the status quo, gain your certification today to help you gain your dream job.

As most of you know I attended the launch of Windows 7 today. Epic morning with some cool demonstrations and information on windows 7 including it’s testing and R&D stats.

If you’re interested in some pictures Click Here to checkout the ones i uploaded to facebook.

Now onto the good news!

Like I said at the event on Monday academic prices should be released today, and I was spot on!

For a limited time, Windows 7 will be available for $49.95 for Australian higher education students allowing them to download a Windows 7 upgrade at an all-time low price.

The offer will be available from October 22^nd, 2009 and in Australia will run until March 31^st 2010 allowing existing students and students beginning their study in 2010 the option to upgrade.

However for the update to work (This is not a fresh install, this is an UPGRADE) the OS on your computer must be either Vista or XP and must be a “Genuine Copy”.

Additionally you have the option to download either the 32- OR 64-bit version.

This isn’t just for IT students, this is for everyone. tell your friends, tell their friends. There’s never been a better time to get your hands on Windows 7.
