The Hard Sell: Microsoft Windows 7

| 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 Microsoft’s
| point in offering upgrade media for Windows
| 7? As well, what’s with the different
| versions?
|
| Last time, we discussed the multiple
| versions of Windows 7 and why it’s largely
| silly. Now we’re 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
| they’re rewarding prior customers? We’ve
| 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 aren’t 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.
