Windows 7 coming soon!
There is news at CNet that Windows 7 will be available for a limited number of buyers at a special upgrade price: "from Friday through July 11, consumers in the U.S. will be able to buy an upgrade copy of Windows 7 Home premium for $49 or Windows 7 Professional for $99." Really? Only $49? Will there be a rush on the stores?
It is my understanding that the trend of Microsoft has always been to have a stable operating system every other system. For instance, Windows Me was not that stable, but Windows XP was stable. Therefore, Windows Vista is the less stable system and Windows 7 will be the more stable system. This can be traced back through the entire history of Windows.

I ran the program and my machine passed all requirements.
So, if we buy an upgrade this weekend for $49, is it worth the risk of being guinea pigs now or should we wait to just pay the upgrade price of $119 on October 22nd?
2 WARM FUZZIES--comments SO appreciated!:
Good question! But from what I have heard when I was last purchasng a computer and wondering if it was time to go to a MAC, they said that 7 was coming out soon and that yes, it is the more stable one from Vista. Will I buy it? I doubt it. I haven't had too many problems with Vista. But then again, that is a pretty good price. So I will have to think about it.
Thanks for this info. I've heard some good things concerning Windows 7 but we shall see...
