Windows 7

So is Windows 7 really that good..?? i have been hearing ppl going on and on about it for the past 1 month - in fact the local yard sale here have them on sale on facebook yard sale at half the price of the original but claimed to be a genuine product key.   I guess some ppl don’t need  sleep pills to sell illegal copies of this Operating System.

So yes.. how good is Windows 7 ?  Is Windows 7 really a Windows Vista release 2 as many had said..and that you can find many features that you find on Vista on Windows 7?  If so, why are ppl saying so many bad stuff about Vista and good stuff about Windows 7?   I still have the Vista from 1.5 yrs ago, when i bought my laptop from Walmart and it can be a pain sometimes.. but i’m pretty happy with it except for a few things.  We are thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 as a family - which will cost us about $350 with 2 license or something to that effect..??  I don’t know the details .. but i’ve heard the spouse talk about it.  So there..  i will update you .. when i get my Windows 7 with prices.

Windows 7 Beta

Free for a year.. and then pay for it a year later.. now that sounds awesome right..??  heard so much about it lately. . but really don’t wanna try it out yet.. for fear of all the drivers i have to look for and all.The Windows 7 is suppposedly to be Microsoft not only newest baby but a huge user interface overhaul since Windows 95. They say that it recognizes cameras, printers and other add ons immediately and great for those who loves their gadgets like yours truly .. but hate to have to look for drivers.   Windows 7 also knows all about music and movies addition .. and apparently they can master them all.   Looks like it is gonna be easier than i thought.. so i won’t be needing the best fat burners from spending hours in front of the computer.. searching for drivers, since it seems to do so  much.  If anyone had tried it .. please let me know… i’m gonna wait for abit.. like i did with Vista.

Software Piracy

I read over the news that some Chinese gang selling software counterfeits were arrested and sentenced to 6.5 years of jail in China.. the harshest sentence passed down in history for China’s piracy laws.  These ppl were charged for selling at least $2 billion worth of Microsoft counterfeit softwares/programs.

For those who are not aware of this.. a local computer store got busted too.. for selling or installing pirated copies of Microsoft softwares in this small town too.  I heard (rumors) that Microsoft went after them for half a million dollars. They declared bankruptcy.. but i heard they are still doing it from home.  Oh well.. i guess they have to pay for a living, lighting and power eh.
