Windows 7 ? - don't make me laugh...
Orders taken before the launch for Windows 7 by Amazon were the biggest in the online retailer’s history, grossing more than even the latest Harry Potter book. So it seems that everybody wants to have a part of the fun.
But what about those 800m PCs still running Windows XP? - Like my HP mini note book? Remarkably, Microsoft has not provided a simple upgrade path for them. We are forced to do what is euphemistically called a “custom install”. That means copying all the data on the XP computer to an external hard disk, installing Windows 7, copying the data back again, reinstalling all the applications anew—which means finding all the old software CDs and their serial numbers—and reconfiguring their settings and find new drivers...
I think I will wait till Microsoft pulls the final plug on XP in 2014 (and buy a new Apple iTablet by then)
