So what is it that makes 7 so much better than Vista? I have vista on my laptop and it seems fine although not my favorite but no hardcore complaints. I went to the MS website and checked out their little 7 demo and I didn't really see anything that jumped out and said "This is a great new OS". It seems just like Vista.
I may just go back to running Linux for a change of pace. It has been a few years since I used Linux so maybe they have some better apps for what I want to do now.

So, now I'm really pi$$ed!!!
I downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate. Looks like there is a known problem at Microsoft and Digital Rivers regarding the download. I - and a LOT of others - get a permissions error problem saying the install can't create files blah, bla, blah. They know about this problem but keep allowing the download and taking your money???? BS!!!!! I'll call Amex and get mine back. Bill Gates - rot in hell! |

I feel for you, Microsoft is the only company around that can charge so much money for a patch to fix Vista.

I realize that and there is a workaround that I am perfectly capable of doing. My point is that MS SHOULD have enough money to get this right on their major product.

I COMPLETELY agree. The other issue I found is that I did a clean install and MS was rejecting my key saying my key was only vaild for an 'upgrade' so I had to 'upgrade' from win7 TO win7 for it to accept the key

Funny, I would have thought you would have been using 5 1/4 disks
