Does anyone has a problem with shutting down the comp with Win 7 Pro? It took quite longer time sometime to shut down.

1) Download the upgrade ISO from Microsoft when you pay and get the serial key (or just use a plain Win7 ISO) and burn it.
2) Boot from disc and follow the install, when it gets to the serial number and activation, don't enter one and uncheck automatic activation when online (not sure if that was important or not but uncheck it anyways)
3) Finish up the install so you're running the 30 day trial of Win7 Ultimate
4) Take out the install DVD, restart
5) Put the disc back in, and boot up the upgrade installer from inside Windows
6) Go through the whole thing again, this time entering your upgrade serial key and leaving the auto activation checked off
7) Finish the install, and enjoy your shiny new copy of Windows 7
Super easy since all you do is install it twice, I guess all the upgrade thing checks for is if you`re running 32 or 64 bit, and if your current install is horribly illegitimate. |

you install once, then run the "upgrade," to me that's just more idiot proof/safer than that other method. and it won't take much longer.

even if u reg into another comp sci course the very next semester, u'll still get the same key.
the one and only way that i can think of to get another key is to transfer to another school that offers msdn, which they'll probably give u a new account with different keys.
