Spoiler for Some Good Rules for Christians:

Luke 10:27 (Love God Above All, And Your Neighbor as yourself)
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

Matthew 7:12 (Do unto others)
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 5:43-48 (Pray for those that persecute you)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Luke 6:27-29 (Love your enemies.)
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books.
Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."

I think I'll just keep using the release candidate until it expires (I only use it on a VM anyway), and then hopefully by that time the price will have gone down a bit...

...But probably not.

My son got the free upgrade when he bought his laptop before school started. He knows nothing- really! about computers, other than the basics of what he needs it for. I wonder if Windows 7 will really be better than Vista? Guess I'll have to wait to hear from 'real' users- everything else is just hype for now, right? I know that the little I've seen of Vista I did not like. My office computer came with Vista, and my support dept was so disgusted with it that they took Vista off and replaced it with XP.

Windows 7 is what Vista was supposed to be. It's a lot more stable and smoother. It's a lot like Windows Me and Windows XP really..

I've been forced to run win 7 since it was released to enterprise customers in August (final, not beta/rc/etc). Not very impressive. I think it's also interesting how some major reviewers are starting to change their tone as well: Study: Windows 7 doesn't boot faster | Beyond Binary - CNET News
