I can give you a quick example of why they don't change to Linux. Time equals money. Teaching employees to use new OS stops them from working so you lose time working on work. Also paying someone to teach your employees to use the software cost extra cash. So its a loss to a company they will stick with what is the same.
Im going to say they wont add anything to their current prices only onto their "Newest" just on the market stuff and drop the price on whats out their to keep people from seeing this added on item. Any time a government fines or taxes a company they always pass it down to the consumer its always added to the newest thing they send out the door so people see the price and say it that much cause its new.
I think your wanting to say "how to be a politician."
also you would need to add:
Step 3: Claim this will help the consumers
(when in reality Intel will just add 2% onto their chip prices to cover the fines like any company does when fined)
From what your saying there it looks like the same thing PC and Microsoft does. New OS maybe hard for the regular user to install so they just buy a new machine increasing sales of new hardware and OS sales. I'm going to be truthful here I don't own a Mac, yet I'm waiting to see where this OS goes and how it turns out before I buy one new or even just a used one cause someone wants the new OS on the newest hardware.
I think it will be an option for those who buy a pc when Win7 is close to release. Meaning if its going to be released in January 2010 and you buy a PC in December 2009 you might get the option for a free upgrade. Its all guessing tho Microsoft has yet to say anything about it.
Its only news cause so many people want to make Microsoft look like an evil company that should be told how to do their own business. The made it clear as can be when you go to their page way before you download, during the download, and again when you install. So this is only news to the idiots that don't know whats going on outside their own little bubbles.
How did you get the jump from 95-XP???
Where did you get this info from please I'd like to know as I have been in computer sales for a 10 years. my records show that I have sold 98 three times of the 95 copies thus you missed typed or found some strange data somewhere that I want to read.
Im using W7 on my HP DV7z laptop, its the machine I use everyday for all my task email, web office and gaming. As for these people saying its slower than XP or as fast at Vista tell them to go jump of a cliff. As for the everyday use stuff there is no difference between W7, Vista or XP. The biggest difference is its much more stable and less asking you are you sure you want to do this than Vista. The only true way to test an OS is to use it. I can benchmark, VM it to death and say here are the results, but the truth is using it is the true key. My opinion is its good yes it has some bugs with software due to being a RC. Will I buy it right now its looking like yes, but check back with me. I would say try it and see I dont know what software you want to run so I wont say run away just give it a try.
If it works don't change it. My old machine works great with XP. My new DV7z has a 64bit chip XP-64 was very buggy on it. Vista 64 works not to my liking. I have finally loaded RC1 64bit on to the laptop. Its much better than Vista was no it. XP works yes but if I want to use my never hardware its time to move on.
As for you saying why upgrade don't if it works for you then keep it that way. If looking at a new machine Give it a chance, and yes I have use Ubuntu I have that running on a old PIII 500mhz laptop. Again use what fits to the hardware and what you are using it for.
I say 20 bucks just to pay for the bandwith they would use for people to download it then they can say "Hey if you can afford $20 then why do you have a pc?"
If i buy the hardware I should be able to use what i want on it as long as I don't disrupt the cell network. I feel this way about a lot of hardware with built in firmware that wont let a person that want to play with it at your own risk do so.
Twitter is just another Blogging tool that people don't take the time to look into what people are saying. Next thing I'm waiting to read around here is some type of Fox News joke..
Unlawful...um who writes these laws again?
oh that's right its the government why stand for something they put into place, its a law for the people not them..8 years and people thought it would go away just as we get some new people, I give it 2-3 years for they do anything they said they would.
I do believe that they did release a patch for this but due to WGA lot of people that have pirated copies have the auto-updates turned off. Leaving these holes open. Again there is nothing you can do if the user is the problem.
lol and people thought this president was going to be different then the last, come on people wake up they dont care about your freedom only their own and how to keep themselfs in power. That is any government.

I was waiting for a joke on how Microsoft wants a bail out for debugging.

That as to be the best way I have heard anyone ever say it.
all hale to the uninformed ideas that sounded good at the time.

Thats what i was thinking.
