Windows 7 now available for pre-order

Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade will still set you back full price, or about $219.99 And at least at Amazon, there are no discounts for full retail versions of the operating systems yet. That means you'll end up paying $199.99 for Home Premium, $299.99 for Professional, and $319.99 for Ultimate.
All versions have a release date of October 22nd. Amazon is limiting pre-orders on Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade and Windows 7 Professional Upgrade to 3 per customer, and the pre-order pricing expires on July 11th or once Microsoft sells a set number of pre-orders. Not that anybody knows exactly what that magic number is.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I thought that Vista was no hope,with it hogging up cpu and memory usage... But after SP2 came out it has gotten alot better.Vista has come along way, But XP was the same way it wasn't untill SP2 it didnt get as stable and as secure as it is untill then,the same way with Vista,It is in mainstram support and will be untill April 2012,I will wait for Windows 7 untill Microsoft releases a service pack for it before I upgrade.Vista just works.

just bought the win 7 pro upgrade but I'm not installing it until I have a hardware failure, I do a major upgrade or windows 7 sp1 comes out. because $99 is less than I'd have to pay for a good backup software and virtualization plus I won't have to mess with phone support like I will when I install vista (used up my activations early on because usb plug'n play wouldn't work.. ) right now (since SP2) it's been the most stable windows I've used.
