Of course! With only one hand, though (as they hold quiche in the other).

I think Microsoft should provide an upgrade to Windows 7 for free, to those that have Vista. If it fills in the voids left by Vista, this would be the most loyal thing to do for its customers. I’ve used Vista and admit that it’s garbage, just like everybody else. Instead, Microsoft is actually rumored to be charging MORE for Windows 7 than Windows XP and Vista! Personally, I have migrated away from Windows and I use Fedora Linux, so I don’t have any worries. I will always use Linux and whatever the market uses is what it is. I do encourage others to look at alternatives to Windows as well. It IS possible to migrate from Windows to Linux with a little patience.

After buying Windows Vista 64, trying to be mor elegit with my system. Paying $200 for an O.S and then be told in a very politically correct way, that they screwed up and for 200 more bux you can get the O.S you really paid for seems to push me back to watning a less than legal copy of windows.

and they wonder why piracy exists?….

Hey Danonymous:

Generalize much? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with people sharing their opinions. Maybe you should spend less time on your Apple, and try learning how to connect with people a little better. Douchebag.

You guys really don’t have much of a clue about anything you’re talking about huh? Yes, it is basically (essentially) what Vista should have been but it will be a Godsend for Microsoft. Why? This will mark the first release of Windows worth buying in over a decade. I’ve played with the Beta and the progress they have made in Beta is astounding compared to the Vista Beta I was involved with. Will it kill Linux and Apple? Who cares? Linux will remain for the “power-users” or for teenagers who think they’re cool by running it, and Apple will remain for self-absorbed douchebags who cannot be bothered to learn to use a computer so they buy the idiot-proof version. Windows will just be for everyone else, like it always has been. In the end, there will always be gripes but if you know dick about a computer, you can work around it. Or do without and complain, its all up to the end user.

Don’t waste your time arguing about it, you have no control over it and in the end, your input doesn’t mean shit. Go back to work bagging my groceries and leave the techie talk to the people who get paid to do it.

i can 100% agree with Gavin Roskamp’s comment. Also, a new WIndows OS will result in the emergence (and abundance) of new Windows 7 pre-installed machines. These tactic (as it had been since the dawn of Microsoft) affects market share and demand greatly due to certain consumers falsely seeing Windows7 to be “superior.” Some doesn’t even know they paid for the pre-installed OS in their machines,

Hi John,
I know that Dell makes systems that comes with Linux preinstalled. You can format the drive and install XP or any OS of your choosing.

May I recommend building your own system.

Hope this helps.

Is there any manufacturer of PC boxes that will give one a box with NO OS and no AOL, Windows, Symantec junk pre installed?

The amount of time I spend unloading office 2007, Norton stuff, AOL crap and of late Yahoo bundles I could load an OS of my own choice.

I shouldn’t complain though, I have earned quite a bit removing Vista and installing XP.
