Windows 7 is great....been using it for months. Yesterday was the official launch date

IMHO Best Buy etc are charging 50-200$ more per computer right now due to the excitement. Wait until Thanksgiving or after to buy one

Here is another of the many Windows 7 Launch Parties, but this one is, uh, different. Yeah, that’s the ticket, this one is different:

That's exactly what I've been thinking of doing. However, I've been using a desktop computer all these years. How hard is it to adjust to a laptop? My main concern is using the mouse. Years ago I tried to use the mouse on a friend's laptop which utilized a ball for moving it and I hated it.

I bought a Dell netbook for my wife a few weeks ago. It came with XP which is why I bought it. Networks perfectly with my laptop and an old Dell tower I still use. She loves it, and it’s powerful enough for what she uses it for. At $299, it was a bargain, IMO.

That was my impression, also. (I was in Best Buy on Thursday, accidentally seeing the "launch").

I just bought the 3 pack of Windows 7 for $149. It’s a good deal for a good product.

You’re right about Best Buy cashing in on the excitement. Go to Newegg, which has some great deals.

I think I'll take your advice.
