 typical terrible product November 21, 2009

I despise Microsoft so this review is hardly unbiased. Installation was difficult because many older updates had to be installed first. After several hours it was finally ready. Using this product did not seem much better the the crappy Vista it replaced. After using Leopard, this pretty much sucks. In all seriousness, I feel bad-a little-for people who have to use this full time.

Its good but this should've been free for the travesty that was vista. Usually when you receive a product that is broken its either replaced or exchanged. Welcome to windows 7, it fixes all the problems that vista had for only another $100. Forget that ubuntu is free.
Not Worth the Trouble November 19, 2009

I bought both Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional pre-release. Disregard all of the hype of the last 6 months - Windows 7 is NOT worth the cost, the time, the risks, or the hassles of upgrading. My most reliable computer is still my Windows XP.
With Windows 7 you get slight improvements on the task bar and interface - however - you risk losing your data, having to do a complete reinstall of ALL of your programs, and then - when you finally have it installed - many of your programs will crash with Windows 7.
DO NOT UPGRADE - if you have a working system. The improvements are very marginal and the risk too great.
 WIndows 7 64bit November 19, 2009

Windows 7
It's good, feels good, smooth, etc.
I really don't wanna get deep into what's new in windows 7 in comparison to vista or xp; you can easily find that out
But the main issue i wanna talk about is... If you currently have Windows Vista 32 bit and not sure whether upgrade to 32 OR 64 bit version Windows 7.
My comp used WIndows Vista 32 bit and I wasn't sure possible to upgrade it to 64 bit Windows 7 (obviously 64 bit is better and started seeing more)
I did some research and it's possible to upgrade from 32 bit vista to 64 bit windows 7 ONLY if your comp got the list of these hardwares.
-64 bit Processor is a must ( my comp is core 2 duo and went to check at intel website [...]and surprisingly it's 64 bit capable.
-4 gb ram MINIMUM... bit obvious because 64 bit 's specialty is able to multitask (i think)
choice is up to y'all if you want upgrade 32 bit or 64 bit. But this time, i gave 64 bit a try and It seems good.
 How much should we pay for this? November 19, 2009

The system is OK, But-----. It's very, very irksome to consider that Microsoft, with its incredible resources, produced a major operating system (Vista) which has been almost "universally condemned" as being bloated, slow, still subject to malware, etc., and for which it was paid by the operating systems buyers, and now expects us to pay over $100 for a "new" system which works more like the previous system should have worked in the beginning. If I were to charge you $5000 to paint the outside of your house, and you reasonably expected a professional job, and instead received an inferior job, should I charge you ANOTHER X number of dollars to correct what I did sub-standard before? I don't think so. Microsoft should sell this system for no more than $30-40 for those who previously paid for Vista. Especially since Microsoft will be getting paid for every new computer sold going forward because it will be loaded with Windows 7. Sorry, Bill, but the price of 7 to previous Vista buyers doesn't go down real well.
