The Hard Sell: Microsoft Windows 7

,----[ Quote ]
| But hang on, how is being in a cab suddenly 
| some kind of a treat? Not only are Microsoft 
| putting tedious features front and centre, 
| the ideas behind them are apparently coming 
| from people so dense they're unaware they've 
| been in a certain kind of vehicle before. 
| "I'm a PC, and Windows 7 was my idea," 
| Crystal boasts.

Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Folly, part 2

,----[ Quote ]
| Honestly, does anyone understand Microsoftâs 
| point in offering upgrade media for Windows 
| 7?  As well, whatâs with the different 
| versions?
| 
| Last time, we discussed the multiple 
| versions of Windows 7 and why itâs largely 
| silly.  Now weâre going to discuss the even-
| sillier idea in all of this: upgrade versus 
| full install.
| 
| Seriously, why is Microsoft even going down 
| this road?  Are we seriously believing that 
| theyâre rewarding prior customers?  Weâve 
| already seen that the really good customers 
| (like me) who bought their most expensive 
| version of Vista, are now getting screwed.  
| We Vista Ultimate users arenât getting a 
| single penny off in upgrading to Windows 7.  
| In the end, the extra money I spent on Vista 
| Ultimate is gone with my move to Windows 7.
