Loving it. I think it's really Vista Service Pack 3 or 4, and it's a shame we have to send Microsoft money to make Vista work.<\/p>\n
It's as good as Windows XP. More on that later…..<\/p>\n
Anyway, I have a MSDN high school membership thanks to Alfred Thompson (@alfredtwo). I downloaded Windows Professional a couple of weeks ago and installed it on my "test machine". That machine has Office 2010, and a bit of other exotic software I'm playing with.<\/p>\n
I got a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate with my WIndows 7 Launch Party kit (yes, I was a host). I installed 4 gig of memory on the gym pc ($80.00), and put Windows 7 on it. I think that's my oldest desktop but I'm not sure, it's pretty close between it and the test machine.<\/p>\n
So I love Ultimate so much, I went out to Journey Ed (favorite place to buy software, and they are a stone's throw away. Bet you I get the product on Monday unless I have to send them proof of status, then I'll get it Tuesday). That copy is costing me just around $100. So that's not bad. I'll put the product key in for this machine and active it when I get the software.<\/p>\n
By the way, all three machines are at 4 gig. All are running 64 bit software.<\/p>\n
That's been a problem with the school stuff, but Windows 7 fixes that. It has an XP virtual machine, and I love it, because that software doesn't have to be in my face.<\/p>\n
I've got the school software, links, and passwords all tucked away in that virtual machine and I don't have to have it in my face unless I want it.<\/p>\n
That is COOL!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
