XP to Windows 7 will be offered
« on: February 06, 2009, 04:18:00 PM »
After thinking long and hard about it and probably because of all the angry e-mails MS has announced there will be an upgrade path for XP users to Windows 7.

                       Full Story.

    That's pretty cool. So we can upgrade to Windows 7 from XP?  But don't they only have a beta version now?

    Nope! Gotta have Vista to do the upgrade. I'm running the beta version now, had to do a clean install (I had XP also). The retail copy is suppose to be ready in August of this year I believe......

            the question is: Is Win 7 better than Vista? if so then, screw Vista....
            If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

            Thats why Bill Gates created the Windows NT Family.

              I saw it, but I couldn't think of a clever way to bring it to your attention.  ;D

                It looks very similar to Vista, so far every program/software I've tried to use has worked with no problems....time will tell though...
