Hi Brian, Still here too.. Just been real quiet for a long time.. Windows 7
I think will be a milestone for MS...Or close to it.. My only gripe is the
pricing? I have Ultimate Vista. But I'll be danged if I'm going to pay $219
to upgrade to Win7 Ultimate? That's ridiculous. Especially since Vista
Ultimate didn't really have much 'Ultimate' to it?:)))
Windows 7 runs really well..but there's still a lack of 'compelling need to
upgrade'? Aside from Security issues maybe... OTOH I never had many issues
with Vista , so I've missed all the stuff everyone complains about
here...bummer, some guys have all the 'fun'. But I got the $49 upgrade and
I've got some free upgrades coming too, So all my systems will be running
'7' when it comes out.
Take care,
Bruce....in NY:)))))

Chuck,
Well its great that you are among the experts still remaining in the group.
Armando is still here offering his expertise.
Victor is another great source of help.
Juanita I think is, like me, still needing occasional help.
Donna is keeping things going.
Clarence, Lance, Howard, Cuffy, etc; names from the past---And we know
some have moved on, but I hope some are still there?
Hopefully, there are still some of the old group still there, and maybe
some new members too that will check in and tell us about their
experiences , their plans, and opinion about Win7.
Chuck,
/"am getting fixed to go for the political race once again"
/"check out how your box will do with the win7 upgrade advisor"
With my old computer I am not surprised why the upgrade adviser said
*_/NO WAY/_*:
1. CPU speed 410.00 MHz: Your CPU doesn't meet the 1 GHz minimum
requirement, which might impair performance when running
Windows 7.
2. RAM 512.00 MB: Your PC needs at least 1 GB of system memory for
optimal performance.
3. Windows Aero Not capable: Your current graphics adapter won't
support the Windows Aero user interface.
So my focus will be on replacing my old system, and replacing it with a
new complete fast system that will last for a number of years.
I am wondering about buying locally from Best Buy or the like, or buying
on line from companies like NewEgg, TigerDirect, Dell, etc;
Also Armando has provided a great way to find deals at:
