Windows 7

[Heber]

End of saga - I've gone back to XP. I have been working with domestic computers since the days of green screen Amstrads and I can confidently say that I have never, ever, had so many problems with an OS, and I have upgraded / replaced OS's before. Nothing like this at all, though! I have a redundant copy of Win7 if anyone needs it desparately!

I let off steam to M'soft UK and they will refund my money and take back the program. They got a bit uppity when I said I loaded their arch enemies' program when IE8 fell over, until I pointed out that as it was their program that fell over I had to find a way of getting onto the M'soft site to search the FAQ's - and what did they suggest I use when their's is laying dead on the floor? They gave in reasonably gracefully when I also pointed out that the Microsoft Intellipoint 11.8 mouse didn't work either and it's only a few months old - Win7 said it was 'incompatible' - I guess that sort of clinched it!

I have a Linksys 300N and I use to be able to link with other computers a mile away. MS did not like that, so they rewrote my software on my disc and module, without asking for my permission. Now what do you think of that?

PS, Now it is only good for 50 feet. And another thing, my computer will not allow me to rewrite the software. In other words, it is now a piece of junk.

Mac time now?

Mac time now?

I can't afford a Mac. I have been wanting to change over to Linux. I have the disc, but a MS program is blocking it. If I pay to have it done, it will cost me $150.00.

$14 a month gets you a Mac Mini, which has a pretty decent config, and the latest OS. Wife has one and loves it:

Mac mini - Apple Store (U.S.)

Although that is possible, I like the idea of modifying my software for me. Linux allows you to do that. And the software is free.

Just checking to see if they fixed the message board yet. Nope not yet.

You should try Vista...

no patches

no apologies...

just the next rip off windows 7 and as I said, you think it is bad you should thank the Lord you missed out on Vista!!!

I'll just wait a year or so until I need a new laptop then buy with win7 already on it - and it will be more stable then for obvious reasons. I think this version was rushed out for Christmas and the right research hadn't been done on the jump from XP to Win7. My daughter had the beta version of 7 already running on her laptop and the final version runs fine, now. So it's of very mixed benefit. The purpose of the thread is to warn others not to jump in too quickly - if too many ask for their money back they will put their foot down and say No! Just be very careful.

Should have known it - now M/Soft is saying that no one agreed to refund the money, even though I have the name of the department and the person concerned!
