Re: HTPC Project Build Yeah, I was debating going with multiple 1TB drives or just a big drive. As for the linux thing... if I give up on linux I'll just buy a drive and an OEM version of Windows. I definitely won't be scrapping this project. I also have time because of the woodworking that will go into the "case". Thanks, guys. |

kudos:18 | Depending on your stance on certain subjects, there are ways to reduce your software/OS costs, but I can't post details here. You can send me a PM.
I run Win7 on my HTPC.

IMO it's a lot easier to get an OEM copy of Windows 7 or join Technet for a year.

Not quite the great deal it used to be. If you don't keep up Technet membership year after year your Keys expire. This is the new rules starting last July.

I renewed in June and will no longer renew, but I'll still be able to use the keys that I have (up to their limits).

Thanks for the information, my renewal date is 2/2013. I guess no renewal. Is there a page to stop automatic renewal?

I don't know about Auto-Renewals (I never had it), but if there was I'd only presume on your Account page.

I don't know about Auto-Renewals (I never had it), but if there was I'd only presume on your Account page. I am amazingly over the current quota's on many products, and will not renew if that means my old licenses will be excluded from this nonsense.
I've been a member for 3 years and this is a bit annoying. Thanks for the heads up, just prior to renewal, I'm resigning from technet.
