Download Windows 7 for FREE

Being a fan of Windows 7 since the version RC (I didn’t tried the beta version), because it was launched the RTM version (release to manufacturing) I was watching the MSDN AA site at Politehnica Timisoara.

Who knows, MSDN AA (Microsoft Developer Network – Academic Alliance) is a project in which students, faculty and doctoral students have access to license Microsoft software for free. Among the universities that I know are: UPT, UPB, ASE, etc.. but from what I saw there are others. In Romania.

The Windows 7 Release Candidate is out for everyone so lets see what you need:

  • a blank DVD and a DVD burner to create your bootable disk
