Windows 7 Upgrade Struggle Continues
,----[ Quote ]
| There are also conflicting reports about
| enteprise plans for Windows 7, with some
| chomping at the bit to get off XP and
| others content to wait for Windows 7 to
| mature.
|
| In other words, getting to Windows 7 is
| more complicated than it seems.

Microsoft Exec Taking Heat On Windows 7 Upgrades
,----[ Quote ]
| A Microsoft executive who earlier this
| week scolded unnamed bloggers for
| publicizing a Windows 7 upgrade hack is
| becoming a lightning rod for criticism
| from angry customers.
|
| Eric Ligman, global partner experience
| lead in Microsoft's Worldwide Partner
| Group, says the workarounds, when applied
| to a PC without an existing copy of
| Windows, violate Microsoft's software
| licensing terms and put users in danger of
| running illegal software. On Friday,
| visitors to Ligman's SMB Community blog
| expressed their displeasure with the way
| Microsoft is handling the situation.

Quillen: Windows 7 explained
,----[ Quote ]
| For instance, when you read "best Windows
| ever," you should remember that reviewers
| said the same thing about turkeys like
| Windows ME and Windows Vista.
|
| Further, Microsoft is a big company with
| thousands of smart employees. Wouldn't you
| expect the latest rendition of its flagship
| product to be the best to date? After all,
| you expect that from other companies.
|
| When the reviewer says "product activation
| went smoothly," it means "to please Big
| Brother, who may be watching your machine
| all the time, you'll need to enter an arcane
| 25-character activation code, and it may
| take several tries."
|
| "Exciting new features in the desktop
| interface" actually means "You'll spend many
| frustrating hours trying to do familiar
| tasks because they've moved everything
| around."
|
| "You may need to install new drivers for
| many of your peripherals" means "You will
| have to buy a new scanner because the
| scanner company does not make a 64-bit
| driver for your five-year-old device, and
| the driver that worked fine under 32-bit XP
| will not function under 64-bit Windows 7."
