Oh Thank Heaven, for Windows 7!
Sales of 7 have been good because Vista was such a disaster. MSFT should pray that 7 is truly better than Vista. Time will tell.
Wow!
It’s almost like the frenzy with Windows95, except people aren’t waiting in line at stores at 12am.
Wow, $119. for the home Windows 7 Upgrade. I want it but I will wait a while to see if there are problems.
Ah, yes. Indeed it is so.
I installed three copies on my three home computers and it went perfectly. Now upgraded. I must say that I never had that much of an issue with Vista but I wanted to keep current. It will probably be a huge success although it will have to be adapted to the large number of netbooks on the market. Most of these come with XP and this is not a direct upgrade.

That may have something to do with the fact that "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows" cost in the neighborhood of $20 while Windows 7 is in the range (depending on the version) of $120 to $300!
So a single copy of the Windows 7 Premium Home upgrade costs the same as 5 copies of HP & TDH.

So did they completely knock-off Apple’s 10.5 or just part of it?
Same 'ol MS hype. No one ever seems to learn. MS has figured out they can release a "new" OS every 3 years or so since the public seems to take that long to forget the last time MS shafted them.
There's a great new Apple ad to that effect here:
No surprise. Harry Potter didn’t offer hope of escaping from the agony of Vista...
When independent testers get access to the for-sale version, they will probably confirm that the DRM overhead and the hardware-disabling nanny is still very much there.
Who needs that?
No thanks, I'll pass on all this hoopla and stick with my trusty Windows 3.1. It's served me pretty well over the past 17 years, thank you very much. And it runs just find on 2048KB of RAM (2 MB) - who the heck could possibly need more?
It doesn't even suck up a lot of space on my hard drive, despite all the bells and whistles, I still have over 33MB of free hard disk space for other stuff - like my Leisure Suit Larry videogame.
And if anything goes wrong, I can quickly do a clean re-install as Windows 3.1 fits easily on just seven floppies (that I keep in an old shoebox just in case).
Hell, Windows 3.1 has even outlasted my Ross Perot yard sign and my Garth Brooks audiotapes!
By the way it works just fine.....
I took a dead computer of mine it and had it installed on it.
Big Difference.
That's going to leave a mark.....All you MS haters and Liberal koolaid drinking Mac cultists are going to have trouble sleeping.
Of course Rush uses Mac, but I think he should go into one of their stores and see where they have their political heads firmly rooted.
And looking at actual statistics, PC’s still outnumber Mac by more than 10 to one, for a good reason.
I installed it, had issues with the network printer and the sound not working right away, had to seek out the drivers for those, but after that, so far so good.
W7 is a welcome relief! I’ve been using XP but a few advanced features were missing, like extending the boot volume and mirrored volumes. It is also much, much faster.
