Windows 7 H.P. 64 bit for sale cheap
What a mistake I made in purchasing Windows 7 the day the newegg.com offered it.
I am like the biggest fan Microsoft ever had. Keyboards and mouses and pretty much every home version of Windows going back to 3.1. Workgroups, 95, 98, ME, Vista, all of them. 32 bit and 64 bit and pretty much every version of Windows they ever sold at retail.
Here are the two things I use every day.... Microsoft Money and Outlook Express.
So what does Microsoft do to me? They drop the support for Money and they leave Outlook Express out of Windows 7.
So I try this new Windows Live and it does not work. It tells me that pop.west.cox.net is not valid. That would certainly be news to Cox Communications and every other computer I own.
When I try to set up an email account it tells me that Windows Live cannot connect to the internet because of an antivirus program or firewall. What antivirus program would that be? I do not use any antivirus program. And I have the firewall turned off. I have no security on my modem or wireless router. None. If my next door neighbor wants to use my wireless connection they are as free as a bird. I am a hotspot.
No matter how many times I enter pop.west.cox.net and smtp.west.cox.net I get the same "cannot connect" message.
Fifty bucks gets it mailed to you in the little plastic box. And you do not have to send the money in advance either. Just give me a mailing address and I will trust you.
Now I am sure that Windows 7 has some real great new features. But not for me.
In short, this Windows 7 simplified is simply garbage to me.
