Monday, September 28th, 2009

The much awaited Windows 7 launch date (Oct 22) is rapidly approaching.  There’s been a fair amount of hype about this new Operating System from Microsoft (well deserved, in my opinion) so now we have to start looking at our options.  Simply put, we have three basic options.  One, buy a new computer with this new OS installed.  Two, upgrade an existing computer.  Three, do nothing.  (more…)
