Windows 7 upgrades fail because of Intel driver
,----[ Quote ]
| MICROSOFT MUST BE FURIOUS after software
| upgrades from Vista to Windows 7 failed on
| some machines because they had an Intel
| storage driver.
|
| [...]
|
| When people try to upgrade they get a an error
| messsage:
| "\$windows.~bt\windows\system32\drivers\iastor.sys. Status: 0xc0000359. Windows failed to load
| because a critical system driver is missing or
| corrupt."

| 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.
