WINDOWS 7 shipped today!

It may even arrive tomorrow, can't wait to install. Got it at a reasonable
price from Amazon UK (£149.98 for the Full version of Ultimate).

It's good to have friends and family in the US so one can get a good
price. With the dollar at its lowest in some time, Windows 7 is almost
as cheap as Ubuntu.

Newegg will not ship software to the UK, nor will Amazon US.

And how much is shipping? (from newegg, and then again if your relative in
the US wants paying for shipping it abroad). Probably works out the same as
i paid for retail.
My Vista was OEM as i refused to pay £229.00 for it three years ago.

There is a place like New Egg that does ship to Europe. I just haven't
had the time to find it again.

Shipping is about 11 US Dollars for express shipping through the US Post
Office and it arrives in 3 to 5 days. If it were sent by regular air
mail, less than two dollars.

The difference being of course that they almost can't give Ubuntu away
(except to the estranged), whereas Windows 7 can command a price and is in
very high demand (#1 on Amazon.com). And yes, agreed, Windows 7 is
inexpensive.

Of course you would say that but Windows 7 IS NOT A FLOP and it's not the
end of Windows. It's the end of that INFERIOR Ubuntu that NOBODY wants or
needs. Just FYI.

Remember Ubuntu was written by geeks for geeks who can't get laid.

Just FYI.
