You get what you pay for ;)

Yeah. A simple installer problem is way worse than your OS deleting all your files, way worse.

I've been using Windows 7 Professional since 10/23 and it is working great, no crashes or slowdowns, and it only took me 30 to do a fresh install!

:S

I'm a mac :)

People actually pay for Window$?

I made the mistake of doing a software upgrade over a full install with 98 and XP. Ended up having to do anyway.

then stop pretending you know what you're talking about kthx

How do I know what I'm not talking about when I've had problems, which includes more than just MS related software, with upgrades vs a full install?

Godmars290 my 92 Toyota corolla had a bad transmission, so that means all Toyotas will have Bad transmission, or what about my first Vizio HD TV, the HDMI ports didn't work right, that means Every TV will have the same issue.

your a idiot, just a FYI

Godmars just... shut up. Jesus 5 comments in a row in the first part of this comment board, and yet you still have not used 7 or Vista, and yet, you SOMEHOW... know what you're talking about.

"Oh well I've experienced a problem once with the install portion of Windows. It obviously means they're all bad. Oh, I can also relate these to future windows products even though I've never owned them."

No, this would be my 5th. Really, how hard is it to count filled in bubbles?

And to the rest of you who spewed the exact same amount of defensive crap when Vista was coming out, I'm not talking about the actual operating OS but the installation process - something I'm sure none of you have ever had any problems with any program you've ever used.

Windows 7 sounds like its far more stable than Vista, a good move up from XP when someone is ready, but it doesn't reinvent the freaking horse. Unless you actually have stock in MS stop acting like it does.

OS's usually release to keep up with and take advantage of new technology. They also have improvements based on customer and developer feedback.

If you don't feel Windows 7's new features are worth the upgrade, then wait. I'm not sure how complaining about something you don't have or plan on getting is productive.

I hope you realize that the number of bubbles was not even the point I was trying to convey, right? It was a number used much like "Oh well I caught a fish that was like... 1000 lbs."

No real point in bringing it up much less getting it wrong was it? Much like chastising my opinion of W7 as being wholly wrong when its my opinion.

I get agitated when the MS faithful, any corporate fanboy, drinks the Koolaid to the point they jump down someone's throat when they come looking for help in a forum. Try accepting that companies aren't perfect once in a while and that people have honest questions. That my own opinions towards MS comes from their seeming exploitation that all software has issues when first introduced.

Lol... we're jumping down your throat, because you wont shut up. "I hate this." "I hate this." "I hate this." Ok, thank you. We get it.

"You support this product. You're a Microsoft fanboy. Microsoft is not perfect. I hope you die."

^^^

That's what I was able to sum up from your comment. Not only is it wrong, but it's incredibly narrow-minded, which was what you've been trying to tell me not to be towards your asinine comments. If I'm a Microsoft fanboy, does that make you a Microsoft troll?
