LA Connection Property Blog: Windows 7

Windows 7

The Microsoft advertising campaign for Windows 7 lists 10 reasons to buy Windows 7:

1. Get quicker access to all your stuff;

2. Manage open windows easier;

3. Quickly find what you're looking for;

4. Share files and printers among multiple PC's;

5. Stay entertained effortlessly;

6. Easily create and share movies;

7. Connect to networks easily;

8. Do more and wait less;

9. Touch and tap rather than point and click;

10. Manage devices more easily.

YAWN ...... I can give you one reason why not to buy Windows 7.

It's not made by Apple. 

Enough said ......!!

I hear that Stewart.  I happen to have a PC and I hear that Windows 7 is supposed to be better than Vista.  I had XP so long - I am not a fan at all of Vista.

I live in Microsoft Country, so I'm partial to windows.  I'm using Windows 7 and find it much faster and slicker than XP, I skipped Vista.

I have Vista and am not a computer junkie, but I know I liked Windows much more.  Don't know what I'm going to do yet, but look forward to improvements!

Have had the RC for about 2 weeks with a MS deal. It is just like Vista with a new name. Had to dump all the old press

I bought a laptop for work.  It had Vista. (when it first came out)  I found the memory and hard drive to be lacking, though.  So, later, I bought another--also with Vista.  How about that.  Vista x 2.  I think it is about time for a change.

I like your article. I am not motivated to run out and upgrade yet because of any conflicts with all my programs but after the dust settles and I do, I am looking forward to it. I am not hearing complaints yet????

I use a PC, but I really love those Mac/PC commercials.

I'm with Number 9 above.

 

But this commercial is going to go down in history.....along with "Where'e the Beef?' and all the other ten best of all time.

I just don't get the whole Windows 7 hype - as i have mentioned before, I do not have a MAC but after several of your posts and research it is a top contender for my new laptop at Christmas!

Next laptop will be a MAC.

I have so many friends that have MACs and love them, I personally want one so bad but I have heard nothing but horror stories when it comes to the MLS running on them. Maybe it is just the Austin MLS but I am not sure. For now I am deciding if I should go from Windows Vista to Windows 7...

Love my MacBook Pro and am looking forward to the release of the upcoming Apple tablet.  

I am curious about the folks running Windows 7 if they are still having challenges with their computers freezing up or needing to reboot the machine.

Scott Stulich... Yep! Got a Mac... NEVER Going back!!! N-E-V-E-R!!! I have to run Windows 7 sometimes because of some applications, but the Mac is far superior to any of the 8 PC's I have over the last few years. Wow, I am switching everything to Mac, like I said in my blog, once you buy a Mac, you realize every other piece of electronics you own are junk! Look how many people like their iPods and iPhones! I agree Mac is so much better. -Ingrid
