See response to Rich.

 

The servers bungled my reply. This is a re-do.

BestBuy operates in Canada, both online and with a physical presence (i.e.
retail outlets).

I have mentioned both Canadian and American prices. Right now the Family
Pack can be had at Staples for 199.95 Cdn. for those who want to go out and
get it today in Canada.

Not much that I've seen in terms of reliability of initial releases - it
still takes several months to iron things out - vista, for example.

You keep telling me about Open Sores - and I search and can't find it -
could you provide a link?

 

That's OK, I don't shop at Wal*Mart. 'Never have. I have my reasons.

Anyway, BestBuy.ca has the Family Pack up for $199.99 now:

[Windows 7 Family Pack at BestBuy Canadian webpages]


If you can't get it there, then there's Staples which is selling it for
$199.95 Cdn. at its retail outlets.

She didn't know she was using Ubuntu on her new Dell netbook and didn't
care because it did all the things she wanted to do with it. She told me
she didn't buy it for the OS but because of the low price. You do know
that a lot of people are being affected by the economic crisis or do you
live under a rock?

I'm sure that's true. I know other folks who have used pre-release
versions of other OSs - they usually manage to screw something up getting
it out the door.

Fact: Then they realise the reason why Ubuntu does not come preinstalled on
any computer, is because it comes free in a cornflakes packet. .

Yeah, it was my sister and she was using it as the coaster for her coffee.

It's been out since 2007.

MS OS's usually are by the time they get to SP3.

> Windows 7 is upgradable

I didn't know that. Thanks for valuable, exclusive info - did you also know
the skies are blue on a clear day?
Only selected few elites know this fact.

Now we also know WIndows is upgradeable.
Before that I thouhgt once you buy Windows, you're stuck with version 7
until Christ returns.

 

I used the term to indicate that to upgrade with it (Windows 7) makes sense
and is a likely scenario in many cases, whereas with Vista the problem at
the time of video cards supporting Aero, the larger than XP memory
requirements etc. etc. made the idea of just going out and getting an
upgrade copy less likely.

Now though, years later, with Windows 7 a leaner OS, the idea of upgrading a
typical computer out there is much more likely i.e. Windows 7 is upgradable.

That's all I meant by it.
