When this happenes it tells me that Microsoft is pretending to stand out on the street with a tin cup. becuase they want to get the people off of their old XP OS, and get them to the new age of Win7. With this program comming back it also means MS has to pay stock holders off. But if someone is going to school how many copies of Win7 do you need on your computer? my guess its only 1, what do you do with the rest? load Win7 on those older PC you've got stacked in your closet becuase you wanted a newer one every year since 2001? If people were smart they would stay away from the win7 pack. now you ask why? well heres the reason, when people try to install win7 on a older PC and they find out a driver is missing thats when the fun begins. If these people are not IT tech then they will start asking everyone for these drivers, they will also be the ones I hear moaning on the call in tech radio shows say I can't get this or that to work on my old PC with Win7. Thats becuase the the hardware is too old and won't work with win7 but these people will drone one bugging relatives at holiday time, until some relative tells them to go out and buy a new computer. Then light will dawn on marblehead. As someone who works in IT, I won't fix any relatives PC becuase for one its the holiday and I like to enjoy the time and two they will call me everyother day. So no tech people should not buy this, but go out to their local tech store and get a new system. There should be a PC Cash for clunker PC's to get rid of this old junk tech.
