Charging "changes of fact" without naming them is also a cheap debating tactic. *TimDaniels*

The pertinent facts are your own statements The Academic Editions of Windows are full boat editions and incredibly cheap, but you're spending all this time attempting to apply your wife's installation DVD to your son's computer (a scam), yet worried that you won't do it before your son's matriculation, when all you have to do is spend $80 to accomplish your purported goal, stay legal, and get your son off to college with Win7 installed on his laptop. Discuss with your wife the difference between "Father" and "System Administrator" and which role is replacing the other. *TimDaniels* >> http://www.microsoft.com/education/license/howtobuy/academicsavings.aspx , >> or do a Google search on "Windows 7 Academic Edition".
