Attention: Windows 7 will not let you open windows or links in Internet Explorer 8. I repeat, Windows 7 WILL NOT not let you download anything from a link, like a program, or open a new window, like to send an email. MicroSoft has posted a fix-it solution on their support website, but it does not work. I repeat IT DOES NOT WORK. Then, they tried to charge users who have already shelled out for the OS another $139 to buy a repair service (hard sell, really). However, the repair service would have tried to fix my computer using the same steps as the free technical support when I asked. (Can you say “greedy” and “useless”?) Plus, it does not work. That is, Internet Explorer 8 is NOT compatible with Windows 7, AND there is no option of using an earlier version of IE with Windows 7. Do not buy Windows 7 if you intend to use it and surf the Web, unless you end up using Firefox or Opera. Dear Consumer Protection Agency : MicroSoft cheated customers with poor service and crappy products during the Vista debacle. Windows 7 is just as bad! Yes, MicroSoft did it again! And yes, this is a real user, not some person hired to post this review. Their final solution? I’ll need to completely reinstall the OS again. Please….Who has time for all this?

I bought this version because it was the best price and was in stock. The OEM version was easy to install.The 32 bit I feel was the best for drivers. It runs better than XP. Boots faster and is alot smarter. The learning curve has not been too bad not having seen Vista (glad I didn’t) I would recommend it for Vista users to convert. Once the companies upgrade there software to better Accomodate Window 7, it will be even better. Vista driver seem to work well, as do some of the XP drivers. I ran the Beta (free) version before I made this decision.
