.... meh.. Not buying
 
All I can say is RIP off. If Apple release a new OS, then anyone who purchased a mac within the prior 6 months is entitled to a free updrade. All other can upgrade for a mere $29.
 
Today I ordered the windows 7 ultimate update, cost me quite a bit. I definalty think its a rip off but you cannot get it any other way and it apparently adds value to your pc so if you are going to sell it.

With new technology coming out constantly, your computer can become obsolete very quickly.
 
With the computer I have, I can't even run Vista. No reason for me to go to Windows 7 or Vista. I have to say XP is the best OS out atm.

Macs are more expensive than PCs that can do more than the Mac, though.

Exactly, technology is roughly 6 months- a year ahead of release time. As they release Windows 7, they are working on 8. USB 3.0 has been ready for months now.. etc, etc..



Even when you have a top of the line gadget, reality is it isn't, and Japan probably has sometime twice as good :/
 
Those prices suck XD My second cousin's sending 2 copies to my Brother at £35 each. She works for Microsoft though, so y'know

I won't be buying, but I have used it before and its great though! Took me 30 seconds to turn on and sign in.
 
It is really good. No denying that. I just don't feel it's fair to have to pay for a new OS because mine is faulty. Maybe I'll just wait until I get a new laptop in a year.
 
I think I will just wait until the prices drop if I decide to upgrade.

i'm not worrying about the prices. Microsoft is giving out Windows 7 free for the College of Computer Studies students of De La Salle University Manila, said the Administration of the College. Of course I'll be given one, but i'm not sure if i'll use it or not. My classmates like it, but i'm still not sure if I will. I hated Vista, so I don't know if I'll like Windows 7.
