Me too
I'll admit, I'm also going into senior year of high school,
I too want to go into computer science (I think).
I also want to get W7 Ultimate "just to have everything"
and when I found out about technet, I was all gung ho, "I've got to get it, it'll save me a bundle!!!!"
So I know where your coming from.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that in the end I didn't really need a technet subscription because as stated above, technet is really only for someone who needs it for evaluation, if you're going to use as a free license in the end you'll not be able to get that "bang for the buck" because it's really much cheaper to either pirate it (though not as safe) or to buy an upgrade from newegg (which is probably what I would've done if my laptop hadn't died). Because technet is offering so much more than just W7 and charges accordingly, and everything else (besides for W7) you can get with www.dreamspark.com (though you need a .edu email) which is what I did.
Also you say "-He knows I'm into computers and he knows that I'm currently interested in programming(C#)." not to sound disrespectful but you make it sound like a 'passing fancy'.
I was interested in basic, perl, java, visual basic, perl, java, and html (in that order with both perl and java twice). I finally, after four years of playing that game, learnt java and html. but I still don't know java well enough to write any serious programs...
The point is that you have to prove to him that you really are into this stuff if he doesn't believe that you're giving your 110% he'll just think it's another phase, and won't let you waste ~$300.
