  • it cost free on piratebay :P

  • Win7 has DX11 (for newer games)

  • ive had XP for 6 years and its been extremely reliable. im getting an HP 100z All-In-One computer in about 4 months and im gonna use that thing till its circuits are fried. thats why i dont upgrade unless the hardware is on its last leg, which for my Dell Dimension E510, that happens to be true lol

  • A 10 out of 100 maybe.

  • @Radiation775 honestly, I love mac, it's pretty good. Linux is awesome to (ubuntu 6.06 user here with windows 7 dual booted on my really shitty laptop) But, I don't like the "Apple tax" which is the price of the hardware. If I built a machine and used Hackintosh, I'd be fine with it, that's because i'm paying a regular OS price and then not having to pay a lot of money when I can build one with the same power for a lot cheaper.

  • Windows XP: crap

    Windows Vista: crap

    Windows 7: crap

    Mac Os X: Awesome

  • hey man,windows vista fucking sucks majorly ,so if ur like me and u cant even install windows vista service pack one without errors,fuck ur ideas ^_^

  • I agree with you 100%! But Bill Gates sure hates you...and those IQ zero folks too. Just read their comments..

  • Soft Ware-O-Meter

    Windows XP: good

    Windows Vista:great

    Windows 7: awesome!

  • Bad advice. First of all, I purchased the Windows 7 Upgrade Family Pack. This cost me $99 and I was able to upgrade a Vista PC to 7, a Vista laptop to 7, and an XP PC to 7. At $33 per upgrade, that seems like a no-brainer. To say you are better off only buying Windows 7 in a new PC is a moronic statement. XP (though I love it) is just outdated, and Vista sucks big time. Somebody kick this guy in the face.

  • He's absolutely right , nothing to gain from windows 7 except more microsoft bully tactics.

  • this guy should be fired.

    He sounds like one of those typical computer engineers that have next to zero EQ, and a girlfriend that is usually from their own line of work that is usually as attractive as their mom. More importantly though, he's likely a mac fan.

  • to bad i made a big jump on my 2 year old laptop. i had vista basic an wanted to upgrade an i upgraded to windows 7 home premium. and the best part i upgraded for free. and my laptop has everything all the way to aero support. i even ran windows 7 on my old 5 year old desktop with only 512 ram an 3 ghz processor an it ran but just couldnt use aero because the graphic card couldnt support a proper driver for it.

  • I think I speak for a lot of people when I say you know nothing at all. Oh, and please fix that hairdo...

  • is this guy retarded: don't upgrade??? it makes your computer 2 times faster, at least and really just copy your files onto a back up hard drive then update then put them back on, not that hard to think of...

  • is this guy retarded: don't upgrade??? it makes your computer 2 times faster, at least

  • He doesn't mention, if you're a PC gamer (which at most may need a gpu upgrade as well) you want windows 7 for direct x 11 graphics. I wouldn't mind a retail either so I can keep moving it from computer to computer (or mobo/cpu) as I wish, because I don't buy computers from other people with useless unmodifiable configurations because of the OEM software, it's a waste of money than just buying the retail.

  • I dont like the interface.And the OS has too much bloat.I prefer the Isadora mint 9 which is a lot faster in performace.Simply its just works very nice.

  • rofl, the best way to upgrade to win7 is to buy a new computer. lol

  • I laugh at this guy.

    He spent a video explaining why the iPad was worth it, but didn't even convince me, someone who was considering getting one, he just said "Here is a PDF file iPad is cool"

    Then he brings out this fucking thing, I have a prebuilt piece of crap from a number of years ago (About a year before Vista was released) and it runs 7 better than XP.

    And everything will run 7 better than Vista.

    Not to mention, you know, Vista is designed like a polished piece of dog crap.

  • I love people that believe Win7 is derived from OSX.

    Vista was Windows: Ubuntu edition.

    Win 7 takes Vista, and broadened the amount of Linux distros that they believed had good features, and then bundled them into an OS with greater software support, and removed all the Command Line fuckery required in Linux.

  • thanks

  • So, Microsoft, the people who made their stuff to be Upgradable, and customizable now have a PC you cannot Upgrade to? Wow, How proprietary. Trying to get people to buy even MORE from Microsoft.

    The best line here is "Don't get too excited about it."

  • apple is the evil one here. they try to say "what you have to look at" and what hardware you have to have in your Computer. now as it stands for microsoft: windows 7 is very good but i still don't trust microsoft yet.

    Apple is "Form follows function". but the problem is: it cancels out a lot of freedom of choice we have when we make our own customization.

    apple wants to uniform all. and that is dangerous!

  • @moeloehoe But while you're doing so much crap to your computer to make it work the way you want, every Mac user just has to turn theirs on and it works how we want. Maybe some volume adjustments and maybe some printer installs, but getting it to work how we want is easier, which is what Microsoft fails at.

  • Yeah, windows seven is a 10 OUT OF 100. It sucks in many ways. Keep on testing.

  • Lol at the guy who said windows 7 was too expensive. A 13" macbook cost 1300 dollars. Just a 13".

  • gamiing is for pc hands down if u dissagre please tell me if cs is on mac

  • @ny2j7 It could be, but they don't code for it because almost nobody uses Mac for gaming. But they could easily port if over if they want (or start from scratch on the code, which would be better).

    But we do have games and plenty of apps. You just don't want to admit it because it's not the same games you play.

  • @Rifalltoo

    Internet arguments are like the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still a retard.

  • @Rifalltoo

    i like mac, but you can't convince other people to change an opinion.

  • FUCK YOU WINDOWS 7 IS NOTHING LIKE MAC OS X

  • why the fuck not, you know what im going to upgrade anyway

  • ahha! this guy is back again with bad reviews! and advice!

  • Is AssociatedPress a subsidary of The Onion?....

  • win7 too slow too expensive

  • @jkltg60 Do you just search windows videos on youtube so you can bash it without even ever using the OS? And because you think OSX is much better than the Windows 98 you upgraded from?

  • YOUR GAY! WINDOWS 7 IS GREAT!

  • this reviewer is a gay!!!!

  • So if youre running vista a performance upgrade aint better? Isnt that what the media have been bitching about all this time?

  • @fernank017 Just upgrade. Don't listen to this moron.

  • @John14073 i agree with u hes gay

  • well said rossapher24.

  • what are you saying? if you have vista upgrade!!!!! i personally want to but don't have the time or money :( but thankfully i got a laptop with windows 7 on it about a month ago. i wish i had money left over, but i needed a laptop for travel and by desktop can't support windows 7. it would cost about $500 for me to upgrade.

  • @0987654321284 You can download windows 7 via internet, burn it to a cd, install it from the cd cause when you putt the cd in, the computer thinks it is a upgrading cd.

    After that you have to download an activator. Then you activate the trial version to the real version.

  • i like both mac os and windows, both are very good and whoever says otherwise is ignorant.

  • I love Windows and I hate Apple and Linux! Microsoft is the best!

  • sorry but i dont trust a guy with a hitler cut

  • Im sorry, if your from windows vista then you have a lot to gain from windows 7...

    windows xp: good

    windows vista: crap

    windows 7: Awesome

  • @asey20 No.

  • @asey20 if your copy of vista is up-to-date it's not bad at all. most of the hate is just because other people hate, which all stemmed from initial problems with hardware and upgrade support. it's all fixed now, but the hate remains. that said, i use windows 7. not vista. it's better. on my server boxes, debian gnu/linux all the way.

  • @asey20 hey im running windows vista and it sucks dic*

  • I like OSX more still. sorry windows it I good, but no worth a 100 bucks

  • I don´t like the new taskbar.

  • @Degarem Why? Is it too big? If that is the case, you can easily make it smaller.

  • sucker

  • hey just an fyi when you mouse over the program in the task-bar in vista you will still see the window but it will not give a live feed of what is happening although you do need to have areo enabled to use this feature

  • actually from my point of view:

     Vista<98<XP<7

  • Lets see what do you have to gain from Windows 7. NO MORE BULLSHT with your computer, everything in compatiable. Done. Once i used it for one day im like "Yes everything works how i want it to!"

  • this guy just sucks

  • he is just advising for not install 7 on old computer

    maybe his right

  • well just download a torrent for free

    copy it to a disk and there you go!

    windows 7 for free!

  • There a two types on computers in the world

    1. One that fails

    2. One thats about to fail

  • I did the Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade to my girlfriends Windows Vista machine and it screwed it up. Windows SUCKS. You'd think Microsoft would get a clue and start from scratch. They keep building on top of an antiquated old piece of shit OS. My girlfriends PC was a modern HP multimedia machine with nothing strange added and Windows 7 trashed it. Now I'm going to have to reformat and install Vista. What a joke! I have three Mac's and they all always work! I don't even need virus software!

  • spaming

    u sucks mac sucks fucking pussy assholes girlfriends sucks like windows vista and mac.

  • @richbradbury NEVER do an upgrade. Thats not windows fault. You ALWAYS do a fresh install.

  • @richbradbury why did u install it in the first place?Why didn't u intstall mac on her computer?And,why are the mac users always complaining about windows?(Couse they know its better than the shitty mac)

  • i totally agree with zkapinus

    i upgraded to windows 7 no problems, the installation finished in like 20 min. it check for compatibility and everything worked, even one of my games that was meant for XP works better on Win7 then it ever did on XP, all in all i <3 Win7 and i definitely recommend it to anyone, whether they have XP or Vista its a definite upgrade either way :D

  • i love windows 7 and when i was having some problems with it the guy that i took it to said if you upload software that's like 2 or 3 years old onto the system it will mess up because you've got a computer speaking fluent french vs a software that only speaks a decent amount. so update your software, like for your printer and stuff if you've had your for decades like me and you'll be fine. sure enough I was.

  • This guy is flat out wrong when he said upgrading will result in having to reinstall all your programs and start over.

    I upgraded yesterday and Windows 7 did everything for me.

    First it looked at all my programs to see if any where not compatible. Then it backed up all my documents, photos, music & programs.

    The install took 2 hours (just let it do it's thing) and when I returned and booted up 7, everything was transferred and on the OS.

    It was very easy and trouble free.

  • have you seen this guys comments on the nook? he spends more time bitching about it than telling you anything about it. he expects it to work like the iphone and it's not the iphone. they need to get someone who really understands technology and not this wanna be nerd. windows did everything for me too.

  • I paid for mine :( ... and it was worth more than the price!!!! Thanks Microsoft, you've always been rockstar!! :)

  • I disagree when you say that Vista users do not have a lot to gain. They indeed have the most to gain. I have noticed that Win7 has significantly fewer background processes. So, people with 1,2, 3, or 4 GB of RAM will notice a big difference when running 7, depending on what they use their computer for.

    I have noticed also that games based off of the HL2 engine run faster on 7. This is probably due, on my computer at least, to the fewer background processes and more recent graphics drivers.

  • Xp will not be supported sometime this year. If you are strapped for cash and dont want to deal with the security flaws after they pull the plug then you should consider linux ubuntu. Its free and easy to use and set up with support provided and it is very secure unlike windows.

  • I have been using Vista for some time now and dont see what the big problem is. Its a great OS, much better than XP or OS X and I really havent had that many issues with it. I just did the free upgrade to 7 and find 7 to be quite unnecessary. There are a lot more features but 90% I would rather not have the inconvenience of having to use and a lot of the pure functionality of Vista has been lost, I think its far off revolutionary. I would have preferred to stick with Vista. . .

  • nurddddddddddddd

  • jackass... windows 7 is amazing for ANY PC

  • I'll get an Apple

  • wow...well considering my 6 year old computer runs just fine with windows 7 (in many ways better then XP) I would have to say this guy is an idiot who's drinking the MS hateraid, and can't admit Microsoft really nailed it this time and released a quality product. Totally Worth Buying Windows 7...even if your an XP user, for the security improvements alone.

  • Did anyone hear a beep between 0:06 and 0:09?

  • Lmao yes

  • HAHAHAHh the classic windows glitch sound when windows freezes at 0:08

  • I completely agree with the guy form the video 100%. It's better to buy a new computer and use windows 7

  • he called windows 7 software??

  • is it hardware? I'm sure you'd have rathered he used "operating system" but software is good enough.

  • no, it is incorrect. Yes, Operating system would be correct, and software is purely improffesional.

  • Im getting a new comp soon, and I'm getting windows 7!!!!! lol its awsum.

  • well in my opinion he's right. Ill rather buy new computer with 7 inside instead of upgrading mine to new one. The thing is, i have vista, and it runs perfect in my computer, no lagg or slow down considering me having and crazy ram and processor. lastly for you gamer, you dont need to upgrade your computer if its vista to 7 because DX11 is available in vista too lol. so all and all ill buy it if i have a newc computer but no for upgrading. Remember this is just my opinion

  • FUCK I ALREADY PREORDERED IT

  • lol me too

  • My concern with Windows 7 is its resource intensity. As in how much of the computers ram and cpu power does the OS hog to itself. We all know of the tragedy that was Vista.

    If I'm buying a new laptop I want to know that the OS its running is using as minimal system resources as possible. And allows for fast and smooth running of both the OS and any other program thats installed.

    Vista did NOT provide that.

    So whats the verdict? Does W7 hold up to scrutiny?

    Let me know.

  • it uses about half as much as vista does. I would say it runs like windows xp did when it came out. fast and smooth

    I have been using window 7 for architecture school and i would say its well worth the upgrade.

  • plus right now there is a free release canadet till next summer...

  • Microsoft makes a piece of crap OS, then charges $120 to relieve the misery that they caused? Highway robbery.

  • Agreed, I bought a new laptop last year which had Vista Home edition preinstalled. Now the laptop itself was pretty high end. The hardware was sound and strong. But Vista sucked so much from the laptops resources that it practically CRAWLED. It was so bad that I couldnt stand it anymore and returned the laptop back to the store. Full refund.

    What a peice of crap Vista was.

  • First learn how to spell "faggot" and second, I don't have a sister.

    Plus it's no surprise that you like Obama, he's black just like you, but obviously a lot more intelligent. lol

  • uhh... bullshit... if you have a vista PC...you NEED to upgrade...gamers...NEED to upgrade

  • It's not just the taskbar, fortunately. It's much more.

    Stupid Mac users. Thinking they're topshit.

  • for me its a waste not to try windows 7, especially if u have a high end pc. i used win 7 and its fast than vista. i also installed it on my 6 years old amd anthlon pc and i'm suprise it run fast and smooth with full aero. memory used only 30% while running ie and music, in vista it would be 1gb over already.

  • Stop being so lazy people! Its not that hard to reinstall a clean OS and put your software back on...just backup anything you want to keep on an external HDD.

  • Vista 32bit upgrade is crap! I have Vista 64bit and it works perfect.

  • for me, original vista works great, and i dont plan to pay more, maybe someday i´ll download it just for fun.

  • most people brought Mac because of windows vista

  • Thie fact is that pc user thinks that mac a gay in the beginning

    And Mac users are trying to make a comeback

  • Microsoft is a big copy cat from other such as Ps2 to xbox, mac dock to windows 7 task bar,ipod to Zune,eye toy to project natal and psp to maybe a portable xbox etc...

  • Copy cat? People who use this to make Microsoft look like they can't innovate always cross me as completely self minded. Good ideas are taken and then improved upon thats how technology grows.

    IPod to Zune not true the Zune is a completely different device, eye toy to PN?? Are u dumb? The eye toy is nothing but a web cam. The PN has a CPU, 2 3d cameras, and a mic. The eye toy has a normal camera and all u can do with it is be in the background of some cheap games. Continued

  • Eye toy isn't actually THAT cheap. Natal though, I heard Milo was staged

  • PSP to a possible portable 360? How is that copying? Will they play umd probably not just because it plays games portably doesnt make it copying. PS2 to Xbox? How is that copying it was the first console to have its own online service sound familiar? PSN? As for windows 7 and Mac Microsoft saved Apple from bankruptcy so Microsoft can copy the shit out of Mac.

  • how to use a PC, you will notice that it is much much better than a mac.

  • people who say PC's suck probably dont even know what a pc is. a PC is a "personal computer" idiots. and if mac is trying to dis pc's, then what are Macs? apple is just made of a bunch of gay fashion designers! bugt seriously, mypointis that PC's are 100% more custamizable/and useable than mac's are (exhageration). And usually people who talk shit about PC's are people who have hadbad experiences with them cause they didnt know how to use them. itsas simpleas that, and once you know..

  • @rossapher24 I love you because you're love pc!

  • @rossapher24 Ok i have windows 7 preety good

    but mac wins

    windows is always freezing mac is so fast and fresh i wish i never bought a pc u just 2 poor 2 affort a mac so u get a pc u freakin nerd

  • @YourMicrosoftVistaH Has it ever accured to you that people choose to buy a pc instead of a mac? I personally can afford a piece of shit mac, but instead I choose to build a $800 gaming pc.

  • @Haywire6000 Gaming lol

    obviously windows is good for gaming but for professional use not really

  • @rossapher24 Couldn't have said it better myself.

  • @rossapher24 i fucking agree dude..

  • @rossapher24 What the hell? Are you going to bass how good something is by how customizable it is? That's weak. Besides, Look on the Mac site (I mean actually look around) and you'll find all the stuff they do. Especially with snow leopard. There is a ton of new coding changes and improvements. Not everything is better by customization. That is a complete bull answer.

  • people dont fuckin get the message do they... Ican custamize a pc right now that will go the fucking speed of light (12g's ram, 900 watt power supply, 2 gtx nvidia graphics cards etc.) a lot of people say that u can get viruses on pc's easily but thats only if ur fuckin stupid and dont have a descent virus protection software. everybody liketo go with the "fasion"....its like if u have a super awesome computer ur a "geek" and if u havea crappy old comp ur "poor" but dude....(continues)

  • i just bought i new sony laptop and it comes with windows 7 upgrade free!! :)

  • My second vista laptop in the space of seven months is dieing. I'm getting something with windows 7 PRONTO. Just losing vista will be gaining the world.

  • Hey guys, 2012, windows 8 is coming out! And theres also a rumor that there will be a 128-bit version of windows 8 as well.

  • LOL! he is a fool

  • I really don't care about W7. Google are about to launch their netbook-notebook OS and the new Ubuntu is launching in 12 days from today. If you have Vista, there's no reason to upgrade.

  • There is plenty reason to upgrade from Vista!

    1. Its faster.

    2. Its smoother.

    3. Its cleaner (still not as clean as OSX but its cleaner than Vista which is great)

    4. Its smarter.

    5. Just a nicer more user-friendly experience.

    Its what Vista should have been.

  • And you forgot, It uses MUCH more ram. So I think Ill stick with vista for now. But the guy is right. In my opinion, theres no reason to upgrade unless I completely buy a new pc. If I use windows 7, I wont have that much ram for gaming. And I dont want to install ram on my old pc. Do you see what I mean?

  • Yeah it does but seriously I was able to run games on Vista with 2gb of ram and it was perfectly fine. RAM is so cheap at the moment u can get decent 4gb packs for less than $100 (Thats in Australia dont know whats its like everywhere else). But yeah I understand why you want to stay with Vista :).

  • alright. heres the thing. i got my new xps in july, and it came with w7 for free with the purchase. should i go ahead and install on the 22nd or stick with vista. cuz personally i think vista's pretty nice. but aparrently 7 is better.

  • I TOTALLY agree with him, there is no reason to upgrade to W7 from Vista, not at that price. It's a tiny bit more user friendly, but it does not run any faster for me, nor does it have features which I think are needed. DX11 will be available for Vista, there is no real reason to go from Vista to W7.

  • You are an idiot, there is a lot to be gained by upgrading to windows 7 form any version of windows. It uses less memory, it responds faster, better looks, user friendly, and the security is just about as safe as it gets. Upgrading is the way to go hands down.

  • windows 7 hack just released by razor team!!! to erase the time expiration, just download at my channel, copy and paste url, its easy just click on the .exe file and run it!!

  • This is ridiculous how can you give Win7 a 10 but you tell people not to upgrade. We all know and sure some disagree but Windows Vista is terrible and people should upgrade to Win7 sure it is $100+ but you do get away from all the problems Vista gave you. And as far as buying a new computer for XP users that is a lie. What he should have recommended is upgrading your memory/ video card instead of buying a hole new pc.

  • I'm not sure I want to take advice from  a "tech" running an Acer

  • This Nerd has no money thats why its alot to a budget consumer like himself...what a pitty. :D Windows 7 has alot to gain from XP and Vista XP+Vista= Windows 7

  • Get a better spokesman AP not a mellow nerd. This was pathetic. You can do better than this :D

  • I'm gonna upgrade for sure. I can't be fucked to keep this failure of an OS Vista around. $120 is a big number but to me it's worth it.

  • if your a student you can get it cheap!

  • AP reporting has fallen so low it's disgusting. Who is in charge of this drivel?

  • this guy is a loser, 7 had better security, usability and runs faster then even xp. Get out of the XP and Visa days and get the best of both worlds son. It recognizes hardware automatically. If im only using itunes like this guy then i dont care about upgrading.

  • I have all of them, and windows 7 is better than leopard. The guy in this video is just a closet mac fan boy.

  • What makes Windows 7 better the Mac OSX Leopard?

  • it is mainstream, i am using snow leopard and when I see, how much trouble the installing W7 comes with I could throw up. I changed to Mac a year ago and controls are easy!

    SL is 29 bucks and W7 Basic is already 110 bucks.

    That's a statement, and so many people say, that Macs are overpriced, but thats not right. The hardware might be expensive, but the efficiency is enormous and lets ur Mac shine *cough* Windows 7 1 GB RAM usage *cough*

  • It can run more than 10% of software written in the last 15 years?

  • Windows sucks....Mac rocks.

  • u say that because ur a mac fan idiot...u can say whatever u want...even i can say "windows rocks...macs suck gay cock" i wont matter cause ur opinions mean nothing to the world

  • Get trolled. This debate between Mac and windows is complete bullshit. I can't believe that some people can't ignore that moron troll who says Mac is better then PC.

    My eyes, Mac is easier to use, kinda less bullshit, and has alot less games. Windows is a bit more complicated, but more "customizable", and can play alot more games.

  • i agree with you, i have a mac, its good, fast, and simple. Cant help too boot up my windows though, there is just so much more you can do with it...im trying to learn to use linux for more of that freedom now haha.

  • The reason people buy windows is they cannot afford or will not spend money for the more expensive mac as well all the corporate dolts in fluorescent offices have office geeks only knowing windows and they like cheap crappy cheap computers that fail so they can bill boss bigtime.Suck my hole you rude little bitch.

  • Hey dufus. You need a brain transplant. I remember that MAC had to change processor technology twice. They had to be rescued by IBM with the Power PC chips and then after they still couldn't keep up they finally had to switch to Intel. Their IceBooks died at a horrible rate of 50% in the first year. It is disgusting. Just keep drinking that Mac Koolaid and paying through the nose for your computers like you do your coffee. You starbucks drinking, beret wearing, pseudointellectual dolt.

    7 rules!

  • Hey worm Just keep fighting those viruses and upgrading that ram...not to mention those slow start up times...and it took Windows 10 years to get a Mac -like interface who is really behind the 8 ball... I bet you own a Zune.Bwaaahaaaaaa

  • Isn't it obvious nobody is trying to argue between Mac's and PC's? Those arguments all fail anyways. It's just biased opinions vs biased opinions. Don't you have anything better to do then pointlessly try and troll on YouTube?

  • Zune? Why would I ever own that when I can have Nokia n900. Ever heard of Linux? At least My computer doesn't look like a lamp from the fifties. LMAO!

    Good luck with that MacWriter.

  • ya well, look at the percentages of windows and macs out their and you will find people love windows so realy ya just say you like mac and dont start a flame fest / idoit.

  • so compaire working computers to home use way to fucking go

  • Wait a minute. W7 is a 10/10, right? And Vista left a sour taste in people's mouths, right? Yet there would be no real reason to upgrade from Vista to W7? That makes sense. Look, why not just admit that nothing was wrong with Vista to begin with, and instead admit that people are just stupid. That's harsh, but it's the truth. Let's also say that the reviewers of Vista gave it bad reviews because they're cocksuckers? Yeah, let's get that out there, too.

  • Don't have much to gain? You have no idea how much crap I go through with vista. Just getting my laptop to go in and out of sleep/hibernate is a challenge at best. I never understood all the hate for MS until I got a vista computer.

  • Obsolete would have been a much better term. I mean, most computers that run Windows XP will be able to run Windows 7, although they may not be able to take full advantage of all its features.

  • I kept expecting him to ya Um K after everything he said. am I the only one? also, don't have much to gain from going to vista to windows 7? what is he smoking, this is SOOO much better than vista even with the new service pack that just came out for vista. I do agree the cost is two high but that's M$ for you.

  • Rofl @ "So the best way to take advantage of Windows 7 is to get a new computer, unfortunately." This is the most ridiculous logic I've ever heard. Is he doing this as a plug for computer manufacturers? How is it any easier to buy an entire new computer, which is not going to have all of your software on it either, unless you can order it that way (for more money!), than it is to do a fresh install on a new system? Sigh.

  • He says, "Old Computer". Ala a 10 yr old 1.1GHZ AMD machine, which you've replaced ps and cooling fans on at least three times, yet still runs photoshop and other crap fairly well. At $120+ you're almost half way too an inexpensive emachine which blows most "old" computers away. I positively doubt by new computer hes thinking i900 series, 9GB ram, dual 1GB graphic cards. Hes saying you're reinstalling your shit anyway, so drop a couple of hundred dollars for that new computer and get it free.

  • I'm sorry, I was unaware of an international definition as to what "old" is in the computer world. Actually, most people would consider anything over 1-2 years as "old" although it would be perfectly sufficient for most tasks. He never specified what he quantifies as "old."

  • Most people my ass, thats rediculous. 1-2 years is not old by any stretch unless you're one of those goofballs that has to pull top framerates out of your L33T crack warez. The term is obsolete, which he probably should have used if you want to get all technical.

    i had a 2yr. old dell laptop with vista, i got windows 7 from my university, so i upgraded, it was fucking easy, and i have the option of going back to vista if i wanted to (win7 makes a backup of vista)....

    everything in win7 is: smother, quicker, and more user friendly than vista.
