Topic: is there any free windows os?? - page 2. (Read 12007 times)
Ubuntu is a pretty friendly distro for windows users. However, setting it up to mine may be a challenge if you are very new to linux.
Free windows doesn't exist unless you steal it. Try linux. It's nice and free.
I just want to know is there a free microsoft windows os?
ReactOS is free and very usable. I fortunately didn't have to install windows on any machine for the last 6 years, but do follow ReactOS, in case I am forced to develop for Windows at gun point.

Anyone know a good guide for installing this on a machine that already has Ubuntu on it? (to dual boot)

Yeah that's the only one. There was dude hangin around that got it working for mining IIRC.
Short of that, you can download 7 Enterprise trial and use it for 90 days. Once your 90 days are up, reinstall.

You just have to go to the command line as administrator and do the slmgr -rearm when it says that its expired.

Most of the guides for dual boot, mention that windows has to go on first, and then Linux. But maybe some Linux gurus around here might be able to help. Here is a link to a free version of Windows 7 Enterprise x64:

Free for up to 6 months, then you reinstall for another 6 months. All legal.
EDIT:
Looks like it can be rearmed for longer than 700+ days

I have tried ReactOS in VirtualBox year ago and it was unusable. However, situation may have changed. Stability may vary between VBox and real hardware... you have to try yourself, installation is really fast.
il do it prob l8r

Some guy is using HyperV from MS for mining rigs.
Or you can also use Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 free for 180 days
If you like experiments, you can also try ReactOS. It's free, small, fast and easy, but it's in alpha state forever.
But I recomend some linux distribution (for example ubuntu) with smartcoin

Protip: ubuntu! "Ubuntu is a fast, secure and easy-to-use operating system used by millions of people around the world." 
And you could aways use LinuxCoin (A lightweight Debian based OS with everything ready to go.) --> http://bitcointalk.org/?topic=7374.0

I have a "new in the box, still shrinkwrapped" Windows 95 upgrade. found it in the server closet of a company i helped clear out.
IIRC, you can't use that unless the base system already has MSDOS or Win 3.1 or something?
