Need For Speed Shift 2009 On Windows 7 Vs. Vista

9 comments September 26th, 2009

Need for Speed Shift was released on Sep. 15 2009. So I got it and couldn’t wait to test it on my machine. So I decided that I will install it on both OS’ – Windows 7 and Windows Vista. I have both in dual boot mode.
DOWNLOAD Need For Speed Shift

I was surprised to discover that NFS Shift was actually running a lot better on Windows 7 and by a lot I mean about 50%. On Windows Vista my graphics default settings were very low compared to those in Windows 7.

This clearly shows that Windows 7 is going to be the chose of OS for the hard core PC gamers.

Need For Speed Shift is a great game maybe one of the best of the NFS series. The car collection is great. The game experience is very exiting. There is a great simulation of the race driving.

Windows 7 Student Discount Cheat

1 comment September 25th, 2009

Microsoft has offered Windows 7 for 30$ to students. In order to take advantage of this offer College students need to provide their college email. However the school emails are based on student numbers for example ff2356@CollegeX.edu.

Windows 7 for Students

Windows 7 Student Discount

What the colleges offer is that students can customize their emails so the emails contain names for example ff2356@CollegeX.edu can be customized to SmithWillson@collegeX.com.

Now this person will be able to get the emails sent to both ff2356@CollegeX.edu and SmithWillson@collegeX.com. But this customization is not final the student can keep on changing his email as long as no other current student is using the desired name.

Apparently MS does not recognizes this email changes so the same student can keep on changing his/her email name and keep ordering discounted copies of Windows 7.

Is this going to bring Windows 7 Student Discount to a premature end or Microsoft will just take the lost, and how many people will take advantage of this exploit… this all remains mystery for now! You can order a student copy from Microsoft Online Store
