    Windows 7 Upgrade Offer

    For all you haters of Windows Vista (boooooo to you Click here to enlarge) Microsoft has launched it's new Upgrade Offer.

    Purchase a new laptop, desktop or copy of windows vista between June 26th and January 31st 2010 and you can upgrade to teh equivalent version of Windows 7 for $29.95.

    Great news for the XP fan boys, fantastic news for Vista lovers.
    This is what will bring MS back into the game IMO

    my missus has vista on her laptop, and we hate it..

    am interested in upgrading to windows 7..

    is it as easy as, download it, install it, away you go? or will it delete the contents of the lappy and start again?

    i ask this because the laptop has a lot of crap on it, crap that i really dont want to spend time with re-installing..

    please give me good news, please give me good news, please give me good news...

    when you do the upgrade they send you out a disc with installation instructions.
    and depending on the version you have you can jsut do an upgrade, which is what i have done to both my desktop and laptop

    Windows 7 is far, far better than Vista ever was - regardless of how much you "tune" Vista. Does not use as much memory, better on system resources and is in general much, much faster.

    I've been using Windows 7 since the first Beta.

    what would be cheaper though... buying vista then spending an extra 30 bucks on 7, or just buying 7 straight up?? (bearing in mind i have absolutely no idea what 7 will sell for)
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
