Microsofts new operating system ' Windows 7 '

Postby SPEEDBIRD 202 on Mon Oct 19, 2009 2:01 pm

If you are intrested in Microsoft you might want to check this story out, its about their New Operating System due for release this Thursday Microsoft's Windows 7.

As I am still trying to get to grips with the old XP Version, :roll: it wont be going on my Chritmas List just yet - :( :(

As with most Microsoft products, I'll wait til they issue service pack 2 before I invest any £££ in it.

That way I will know that 50% of the bugs have been worked out.
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable but in the end is right
I hope you have the time of your life

In agreement there, it's just a pity Billyboy didn't get Vista right the first time round! :roll:

Nice thing about 7 over Vista is it doesn't promise what it can't deliver! Vista was a huge dissapointment, but i think, for a change that MS might be on to an XP style winner with 7

From what I understand it's the first part of thier master plan to do away with piracy by having you buy a license and then access all your apps online without ever installing anything.

Cos that's really gonna work incredibly well :shock:

Seems they want you to have a tiny peripheral computer and you willonly store your own info. You will have to be online to do anything and honest they won't look. And no of course the acess providers won't put up the price?
