If Home and Pro users are going to be forced to buy software like Acronis or Ghost, I think Windows 7 is another example of Microsoft being out of touch with reality. Or do they really think Home and Pro users will never have a need for a full system image backup? Posted by: Dri-Anna Davis 17 Oct I and my companion pre-ordered Qty 2 of Win7 Home premium some 3 or 4 months ago. We expect delivery in late October.
My computer is rather old being an emachines T, Intel 3. Gee, so much for Win7, I thought. However, I ran the Ad-visor today and the only things that it pinged' were needing the Driver Replacements for my Printer and Sound Package. I now feel that perhaps the Win7 Upgrade Ad-visor may not be very accurate. Anyone else had different information each time they ran Ad-visor?
Even though I am now informed I am good to go with Win7, I think I am going to delay installing the new System for awhile. Posted by: Kyle 17 Oct I have been very pleased using Vista Ultimate on a system with with lots of RAM and processing power.
I am also a student so the discount for Windows 7 Pro sounds almost like a "must do". My concern is that the Pro version will be less than what I have with Vista Ultimate. Any thoughts about this?
Posted by: sg 18 Oct If you're concerned about a system restore, backup solution, I'd advise trying Macrium Reflect free backup software from one of the main software download sites. Won't mention any names. Having a laptop with no floppy drive caused me to search for and test free software instead of depending on Ghost or XP system restore. That was last Spring and there's been a new release.
It worked perfectly and didn't take any longer to backup the C drive. Like this post? Please share to your friends:. Microsoft Windows is a group of many GUI based operating systems developed and offered. Select your default language. If you have multiple languages.

But somehow, I doubt they would go that route. While it IS true that Win 7 is better than previous releases, the economy is in the tank.
And they know it. They know that they will need to keep the retail price reasonable - likely a bit cheaper than Vista's current pricing. But not so cheap as to be giving it away. How can anyone complain when people using one Microsoft OS upgrade to another? I do not have any figures or evidence of the following, but I am certain that it is true; Microsoft does not have any reason to care about the cost of upgrading their operating systems Anything they get from over-the-shelf sales at NewEgg or Best Buy is just frosting on the cake.
If they can encourage a lot of upgrades, it will make a significant different to Microsoft's income. Remember, the code has been written already. There is hardly any cost to selling each copy Producing 1 DVD with associated packaging and perhaps mailing it and so this is pure profit. The one thing Microsoft should do to help this is to change their mind and offer an upgrade from XP.
They should be able to basically re-use the Vista upgrade tool with some tweaks. Monday, May 18, PM. You're kidding.. How can anyone complain? Browse the forum..! They DO care about people upgrading. They want people to move on from XP. They want to drive the proverbial stake in XP's heart as it's now poised to be the OS that wouldn't die. I seriously doubt they'd try going the route of giving a direct upgrade path from XP - especially at this point.
