    Windows 7 is a new version Operating System. You want it - you pay or be
    like Alias and use that INFERIOR Ubuntu that has to shove a new version out

    Clarification: Software wears out in 6 months but wears thin in a few

    Since I have plenty of money, and buying 100 copies of Windows 7 would not
    stir my cornflakes, I'd say you are irrelevant!

    I don't think suck a bus can spell.

    Win7 or Ubuntu, but no more Vista, eh?

    That's not for anyone else to decide, but you.
    Where I'm sitting there's nothing wrong with 'Vista'.
    "Asta la vista", or something like it.

    Very interesting. So, how much different Win7 is from Vista? Is it at
    least as different as Vista was from XP to justify the non-free upgrade?

    I don't think so. I upgraded my Vista Home Premium 64-bit 4GB laptop from
    Vista SP2 to Windows 7 Ultimate over the weekend and I don't really notice
    much difference. I got my copy at a Microsoft "New Efficiency" launch event
    a week ago.

    The new way to set up a home network looks cool but it requires that all
    computers be Windows 7. I only use Vista's "sleep" for the most part so a
    faster bootup and shutdown means nothing to me. I've never had an issue with
    Vista myself, but I didn't begin using it until a year ago either, so I
    didn't have any early adopter pain. UAC should be better because it claims
    to treat all user-initiated activity as OK (I clicked it, so just do it.)
    and it only pops up the prompts for software-initiated changes. Supposedly
    29% fewer UAC prompts.

    It feels like how Windows 98 was a 3,000+ bug fix to Windows 95.

    FWIW,

    Ray
