• Why you might want Windows 7 – and how to get it

    Posted on August 7, 2009 at 18:57 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    If you’re still undecided about Windows 7 – whether you really need it, and how to get it if you decide to take the plunge – I would like you to read three articles. Actually, parts of three articles.

    Mark Minasi, a well-known Windows lecturer and mahaguru, puts together a series of newsletters. He’s devoted a big chunk of his two latest newsletters to explaining why a Windows XP stalwart and/or Vista victim might – or might not – want to shift to Windows 7. Mark knows whereof he speaks. Check out “Windows 7: To Adopt or Not to Adopt?” in newsletters 78 and 79.

    Then, if you’re still interested, Ed Bott has just posted the first thorough and accurate Windows XP/Windows Vista-to-Windows 7 upgrade chart on his blog. You have to wade through some well-deserved criticism of Microsoft’s marketing minions at the beginning, but Ed’s chart at the end of the article gives you the straight scoop on the good, the bad and the ugly of upgrades.
