By and by, Windows’ system requirements are getting bigger and bigger. Wondering what they have to offer for old machines…
wow nice… thanks for your info
Wow! That’s sounds cool. Thank’s a lot!
It is so Cool.
Windows7-I try this Windows for me
I hope it’s much better then the beta
@Jeff Weedy
What the hell are you talking about man! The Beta was VERY well done, solid, and VERY reliable!! The RC kicks ass (I downloaded mine April 30 from Technet :) ) for sure but the Beta was nothing to laugh at. ;)
It’s been the same story since Windows 95!
Tell me you’re NOT happy you upgraded back then, despite “EVERYTHING” being so totally user UNFRIENDLY!
Computers are now “investments,” that can be upgraded and they’re cheaper than ever.
Hang on to that “old” machine…but, now’s the time to get up to date with your PC.
You’ll be glad to leave XP behind.
…unless, of course, you just like to surf and check your Email…in which case you may be able to get away with a Web TV unit. (if they still exist!)
I loved Vista Ultimate from The first Beta release.
I can’t wait for Windows “8!”
