Need some advice regarding TechNet
My friend/roommate and I are both using Windows 7 build 7201 x64 and we both love it. We definitely want to buy Windows 7 when it's complete, but neither of us are exactly raking in the cash. My question is, is it more feasible to buy a 1 year TechNet subscription for $350 ($175 each) and download Windows 7 from there after it RTM's? It's not that we mind waiting until October for it, but the cost of buying 2 copies of Windows 7 (we both would prefer Professional) off the shelf would probably exceed the $350 of buying a TechNet subscription. We're aware of the pre-orders and the cheaper cost of the upgrades but we don't really want to go the "upgrade" route. Any advice would be appreciated. :)
