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.

    7 was the first and last version of Windows that I didn't immediately despise.

    For me I think I enjoyed 98, XP, 7 it was nearly Star Trek rules every other edition was ok. 7 was the culmination of the best of. But absolute shit ever since. Honestly wish I could just go back to 7 for anything that requires windows( I try to stay away from it whenever possible)

    I got a copy of Vista Ultimate from a friend who worked for Microsoft. Upgraded that baby to 7 Ultimate the instant I could and rode that product code for over a decade, until last year when I installed Linux on everything.

    Actually, I think I might still be using that product code on my Windows VM. Hmm.
