I must say, I'm easy when it comes to operating systems. I was lucky enough to get into the Windows Vista, and subsequently, Windows 7, Beta testing. I therefore had the advantage of not having to dig to deep into my pocket to examine the OS’s. Although my preference is Windows in all...

I've been going at this all day searching, trial and error, and it's all very frustrating at this point. I wanted to try Windows 7 since it has been released in the RC status (because I had aquaintances try 7000 beta, and no one liked it). So I want to have it on my machine to tinker with and...

Microsoft. I have enjoyed using the Windows 7 RC. I was emailed an offer to upgrade to Windows 7. The email says the discount price because I have been testing the release candidate, is $99 for Pro. When I click on the link the price says $199. What is up with the bait and switch tactic...

With bulid 7260 (RTM escrow) MS started the RTM builds, and it's only few day before the final RTM build is compiled (if not already, 7262?). So why MS will wait 4 months (Third a year) for the General availability!, I mean they will miss Back-to-school season that way! Side note: why MS still...

Hi, I have been testing out the beta since the release date. Recently i formatted my computer and decided to download the latest RC and test that to see what sort of differences have been made. When i initially installed the beta i just did a upgrade from my Vista and everything worked like a...

Hi, It's my understanding that starting March 11th, those who are running W7 RC1 will experience an auto shutdown every 2 hours. Then, in June, the RC1 will lock you out of your system. Even if you buy the retail copy of W7 before June, there is no way to do an in place upgrade, rather, you...

After starting windows from a shut-down condition; Upon launch of IE8, I almost always get the dialog "IE closed unexpectedly, do you want to restore your last session?" This is is an invalid warning, as I always close IE manually (after clearing browsing history, etc.) before shutting down)...
