Win 7 upgrade?
Bob Newman
Whichever I buy, I will be upgrading to the Home Win 7 version. Financially
it would be better to go from XP to Win 7. The machines are cheaper as is
the upgrade (I qualify for the $39 educational upgrade from XP or Vista -
not from Win 7 starter). I have heard it is a long hard process to go from
XP to Win 7. Would this still be true if it was on a virtually new machine
with few programs or data installed or would it be adviseable to go from Win
7 Starter to Win 7 Home?
Opinions please.
Thanks in advance... Bob

the Microsoft store. Factor in your $39.00 educational package and
the time and effort to install fresh may cancel out the $40 price spread.
( or savings ).
I'd probably just get the Netbook with 7 and go with Anytime Upgrade.
I recently bought my wife a new Toshiba NB210 and it's an excellent
netbook. It has the latest Intel Atom processor and runs 7 Professional.

like the netbook style. My master plan was to exchange it for the Toshiba,
that's probably what I'll do. I am having no problem with the small screen
and will use it with my external monitor & keyboard usually any how.

Florida is in the Eastern time zone and the Standard Eastern time has a
-5hr bias with UTC, which means that your post would have been made at
12:37 (PM) Florida time. According to my newsreader your post is shown
here as posted at 1:29 PM, you're still off by an hour. Verify that you
are in the right time zone and verify that you are using Standard Time
instead of Daylight Saving Time (DST).

Everybody, who wants to do a clean install, qualifies for the upgrade
even if they don't have any qualifying products. Win7 upgrade CD will
install without checking whether or not you have any OS installed or
not. In my opinion only the idiots and MVPs will buy the full version
of Win7.

I hope your problem is solved by this article.

Bob's post came in at 12:29 PM and your most recent one came in at 5:33
PM. Google Groups confirms this:
Looks like there's something wrong on your end, John.

Oh hell no! MVPs get free expensive Technet and MSDN subcriptions and they
can download all client and server operating systems and use them as per the
Technet or MSDN subsciption conditions. Why would they pay for what they
get for free?

There is something wrong with all MVPs. They are given the title of
pigs <Most Valuable Pig> for no other reasons. Why did it take you so
long to work it out?

last post to Bob was made at 6:33 PM Atlantic Standard Time and
according to my newsreader and to the Google archive that is the time
that the post was made. I'm not sure why you see that I posted at
5:33PM? It is 8:02PM AST as I now hit the send button on this post...

live).
Although this most recent post of yours was made 8:02 PM your time
(AST), it is showing up (correctly) in *my* Sent column as 7:02 PM
(EST).
Another way of looking at this:
Your last two posts went out at 2233 hours UTC (Nov. 29) and 0002 hours
UTC (Nov. 30). Since I live in the Eastern Time Zone, they correctly
show up as 5:33 PM and 7:02 PM (both Nov. 29).
Bob had been posting in the future, but he corrected that. His most
recent post was made 1729 UTC (or 12:29 PM EST). In *your* newsreader,
it *should* show up as 1:29 PM AST, correct? Remember that AST and EST
are separated by one hour!
Then again, I noticed a lag between his time and the NNTP time (8
minutes).

made the post, there is nothing wrong with his time. I forgot that
there is a one hour difference between our time zones, ...duh!

This idiot still doesn't get it. No matter where you are on this
wonderful planet, your system should be able to adjust for time
difference. If it doesn't, then people posting in Australia will always
be 8 hours ahead of everybody. NOW GO AND GET THE LATEST M$ UPDATE TO
CORRECT FOR TIME DIFFERENCE.

There is nothing wrong with my computer and your the one who doesn't get
it! The time displayed on your computer is the local time which is
calculated on a UCT bias according to the time zone that you selected
for your computer. When it's 4:00PM in Florida it is 5:00PM where I
live and it is 1:00PM in Vancouver, they're all the same, it's all a
local representation of 21:00 UCT.
