Lessons In Hardware / OS Troubleshooting
Esther Schindler writes "We like to imagine that every Microsoft OS installation will work just as well as the company promises. When things don't work out, identifying and remedying the case of failure can be time-consuming and frustrating. This lesson in how to determine why Windows 7 didn't install may help you troubleshoot a problem of your own, and save you from a Lost Weekend. Maybe you'll find this account useful all on its own. But the real key here is that the author is Ed Tittel — who's written over 100 books. If this hardware geek spends days solving a CPU-meets-Windows 7 problem, what chance do mere mortals have?"
Ultimately this is in Microsofts best interestes to ensure people can install Windows SHINYNEW(tm). There scattered offerings are the cause of this problem, they should offer one OS install disk with maybe a few kernels. Disclaimer I've never installed windows 7, its on mums cheap laptop and works fine for her much improved on previous offerings and for once MS makes XP look like the dated and cumbersome giant it is.

GNAA Confirms Link Between Wal-Mart and The Bilderberg Group
The GNAA research division has proved a direct link between the Bilderberg Group and Wal-Mart. This link was confirmed last Saturday night when an attempt to save black shoppers from a terrorist threat was lambasted by Wal-Mart, an attack which was planned by Wal-Mart themselves.
In an attempt to revive the United States economy an attack was planned by the same strategists that successfully executed 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. To minimize collateral damage against voting citizens, which keep Haliburton, the United States controlling body of the Bilderberg Group, in power; black American citizens were targeted. Again.
InfoWars, in conjunction with the GNAA Black Ops Division have been working on project Shield-A-Nigga for the past 2 years. The project has deployed over 2500 operatives that have been recruited from the GNAA Youth League. These operatives have been placed in nearly every Wal-Mart store across America in defense of our black brothers.
On the night of 20th March 2010, a brave operative sacrificed himself in defense of our black citizens. When he was informed of a plot to harm black shoppers at the Wal-Mart he was stationed at, he calmly asked the black shoppers to leave that Wal-Mart.
According to the police, the boy picked up a public-address telephone in the Wal-Mart in Washington Township, one of two dozen accessible to the store's customers, and said, "All black people, leave the store now." This heroic act saved 73 black people that were shopping in store at the time.
Swift retribution was brought upon the brave soul and he was arrested. Media hype was then focused on the boy as to deflect focus from the failed terrorist attempt. This was done by the same media spin group that has minimized the impact of the Full Body Scanner Project, which is funded by Wal-Mart.

Not all Windows 7 installs are painless. When I installed mine, I found out the hard way just how dependent a Win7 installation is on a network connection. My network connection wasn't supported so the install failed miserably (seriously - I haven't seen a desktop like that since Windows 95). I eventually worked my way around it by installing a wireless card and connecting through it. Great fun.
some people want to use operating systems people actually care about you smug nerd
