PR wise it was a failure but as long as it's run on decent hardware has worked well for me.; Like this Reply to this comment

It is always exciting if new version of operating system is going to be out in the market... most user looking forward to that. But the bad thing is existing hardware cannot adapt such new change because the hardware does not meet the software requirements.

Unfortunately Mr. Wiliam Gates has not given much thought to making it compatible with at least a Pentium III and perhaps allowed the system to run beter with the new system and a 500 GB hard drive ...

And who has used the LINUX alternative ... just my thoughts on Launch [lynch] day of Windows 7 ... it's a week before the lynch day called Hallowe'en and I'm not surprsed that Windows 7 might be under attack from those hackers and spyware/ malware crowd... better get the highest possible protection from the gangsters. ... just my thoughts ...; Like this

by microsoftsucksass March 4, 2009 6:29 AM PST: don't get your hopes up windows 7 will only be a upgrade to windows vista
it will not be as good as you think it will be.
just because vista sold poorly i'm going to stick with xp.
:d. i think vista will beat windows 7 they just want to make more money.; Like this Reply to this comment


by davidaharon October 22, 2009 6:26 PM PDT: Yes it been s far cry from Windows XP [which is the same as Windows 98 in Stability] I tried Windows 2000 before I went to XP and thought boy this is S L O W So my Computer Guy told me to give XP a try.

Also in time for the release of Windows 7 is their now sending funny messages when you open Non Legal MS Office.. maybe Microsoft may try to stop the use of the PROGRAM until you go clean on it's Office suite. Just an after thought.
