I liked it, but it is just lacking ease of use and common sence within the MAC OS. because he owned some DVD software, and he said it was okay to explore the OS. I used a mac, for a while then used my windows PC, back during XP’s era, and XP was easier to use, and multitasking is way faster, and it costed WAY LESS than a POS mac. Certainly less than I paid for my trusty copy of XP years ago.

🙂īTW, the 7 Pro upgrade pre-order on Amazon was $99. I’m waiting for the SSD I want to come back in stock so I can place an order. I haven’t done the upgrade yet because I’m still running XP on two computers, and plan to upgrade to SSDs on both at the same time.
We both pre-ordered the 7 Pro upgrade on Amazon and he upgraded from the RC to the final version in a few hours the other day. He now doesn’t even talk about Mac laptops any more he wants to upgrade to the Thinkpad W series, put 8GB of RAM in it and run Windows 7.
Considering he paid ~$250 for the laptop, and $4,200 for his Mac Pro tower, that’s saying something! In fact, not only is it faster than XP on his laptop, he actually likes it almost as well as his Mac.

He upgraded to the Windows 7 beta several months ago and absolutely LOVES it. Even though netbooks are the hot thing right now, they weren’t when he was in the market, so he ended up with an older Thinkpad with XP.

My boyfriend is a pretty die-hard Mac user, but he did buy an old PC laptop with XP on it. It shouldn’t, unless speed-of-upgrading wasn’t on the feature list to begin with. With more modern processors, memory, disk drives, and a new OS touted as being lean and mean, why should Windows 7 take significantly longer than that to upgrade? When Windows 95 was introduced (I was there, shooting Triumph of the Nerds), part of the Bill Gates and Jay Leno performance that day was upgrading a 486/66 machine from Windows 3.1 to Win95. Snow Leopard took me 20 minutes to upgrade, but then Apple has no OEMs to please (this is key) and makes lots of money on upgrades even at $49.95. Here’s another piece of evidence aiming in the same direction: have you actually done a Windows 7 upgrade? Mine took seven hours! It shouldn’t have to take that long unless part of the goal was simply to discourage upgrading. The pricing ploy makes Microsoft very popular, too with its Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) like HP, Dell, and hundreds of others. New PCs come with dramatically lower support costs for Microsoft than do retail upgrades. That brings Microsoft less revenue per unit but more revenue overall as businesses, for example, decide to upgrade a whole office with new PC’s rather than pay $119.95 per desk just for new software. Microsoft likes to make money, hence the Windows 7 tax, but their main reason for setting the price so high is to get us all to buy new computers.

Buy a new Windows 7 PC from Staples and the software price drops to $49.95, the same as Snow Leopard. The company doesn’t want users to upgrade so by setting the price high Microsoft is essentially imposing a Windows 7 upgrade tax on users. Setting the price at $119.95 is a brilliant move on Microsoft’s part. Microsoft wants you to buy a new Windows 7 PC instead. The better question to ask is why Microsoft decided to set the price point where they did? And the answer to that one is quite simple: Microsoft doesn’t actually want you to upgrade to Windows 7 at all. Is Windows 7 really worth $70 $90 more than Snow Leopard? In the marketplace, however, the upgrade version of Snow Leopard costs $49.95 $29.95 ( $99.95 $49.95 for a five-machine family pack) while there are twenty different versions of Windows 7 to choose from with the most popular (Windows 7 Home Premium) priced at $119.95. I won’t get into the argument over which OS sees the other as competition, maybe they both do. Yeah, but why does it cost so much? I know why.įor a stark contrast, compare Windows 7 with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, its would-be competitor. I’ve had a couple days now with Windows 7 and it is certainly an improvement over both Vista and XP, requiring slightly less resources than either (significantly less than Vista), booting faster, and offering superior usability.
