Winduhs...

Anyone have the short-quick feature list for Windows 7?
Very cool. Upgraded a machine yesterday.
Winduhs...
They already knew they had to replace vista (ME the new voyages).
That is why they have rushed Windows 7 out two years early.
I updated an Office product yesterday and was wondering why took so long.
I fought with one of those the other day; ended up wiping Vista and installing XP again.
Didn’t Vista just come out not more than 2 years ago, and already its obsoleted by this new thing? It seems Microsoft is making a new OS every year until they finally get one right. What a laugh. There’s no coincidence that MSNBC can’t report news and Microsoft can’t create an operating system.
Bought a new computer with Vista last month and don't find the operating system to be too different from XP. File system defaults weren't to my liking, but everything can be customized. I'm using a 64bit version and so far all my favorite programs, graphics stuff mainly, have installed and run just fine. It seems to play nice with everything I used with XP.
Of course, having 8GB of RAM doesn't hurt. So far so good.
I started with WordStar on an Osborne (and later a KayPro), then WordStar on a PC, then WordPerfect on a PC and most recently Word.
I’ve been using Vista on three machines for a year and a half with no problems. Is there a good reason to upgrade to Windows 7? What does it do that Vista doesn’t do?
It isn’t early - it is back on the stated release schedule. It was Vista that was extremely late.
I think many who tried Vista and rejected it didn’t realize that the file structure is highly customizable. Or that the default security settings could be turned off or adjusted to suit the user’s needs. Microsoft did a very poor job of explaining Vista to the average user. The product itself is significantly better than XP.
Okay, I'm ready to use WordStar! :-)
I loved WordStar, but WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS became "The Standard" everywhere for such a very long time.
Then everyone began to downgrade to Word.
...that, and the bloated overhead getting even worse.
Wordstar was my first word processor. I was the first at my university to write a dissertation with a word processor and that in itself was controversial. Funny to look back on those times.
Memory is extremely cheap so it is not an issue.
