Today's the day

Today's the day.

Look for good deals on Windows 7 pricing. You can get deals online, or if
you can't wait, look for "Family Packs" at the big box stores and the
computer stores which enable you to acquire Windows 7 for only about 65
bucks a copy (which is pretty inexpensive - especially for people who use
their software day in and day out all year).

Windows 7 is upgradable. It runs faster than Vista, so if you already have a
computer that can handle Vista, then you have a computer that can run
Windows 7. And in the real world, even older computers can run Windows 7
decently if they have a gig or two of RAM (cheap) and a capable video card
(most any you can get today).

Only true in the States. In the EU, Win 7 is expensive.

Really? And you and upgrade it to what, Windows 8?

BFD, no large accomplishment.

True, I installed it on a compute running an AMD XP 2400+ processor with
1.5 gigs of RAM and an nVidia 6200 with 256MB RAM and it ran fine. It's
an imitation of a Mac and Linux but Microsoft isn't exactly famous for
innovating. They are more into stealing others' ideas and saying that
they are their own.

Re: Today's the day

Can't seem to find the Windows 7 Pro upgrade link on the 741.com web
site. All I get is the Home Premium upgrade.

Anyone have a link to the Pro upgrade?

P.S. I was talking Canadian dollars.

In US dollars, it would be less than 50 bucks per copy.

[url]www.741.com[/url] is a webhosting site. Why would it sell Windows?

Great! And then in about 6-12 months it will actually be usable!

In the early 80's. I learned the hard way, from DEC RSX - you NEVER
upgrade to anything as soon as it's released. There are ALWAYS problems.

Quite frankly, I don't expect to ever see it running in my house - I'm
brighter than that and I care more for my money. Linux is perfectly
adequate.

Re: Today's the day

BestBuy for example:

[Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack - BestBuy website]
[url]http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9493185&type=product&id=1218113928235[/url]

Watch the URL wrap. With 3 copies in the pack, it comes in at less the 50
bucks a copy.
