Well, microsoft has some very cheap education deals, that let you get either windows 7 home premium or professional at a very low cost, something around 30$, look into it. Unless you really need the features that ultimate version has, you would do just fine with home premium. Anyway you get it is fine, as long as it is a non corrupted installer. Don't forget that warez might be debated here but no links can be posted. You'll be up and running in no time :)
