A: Because no matter how bad I was treated and how poor the customer service was I could not in good conscience recommend windows Vista to a computer user when there was another alternative.

However windows 7 is now out and everything I’ve seen on it has been positive. So like Younger Bear in Little Big Man I can recommend Windows 7 over an Apple without becoming an evil person.

So excuse me while I do my dance of joy.

A: Because for a $5 contribution to his shoe leather fund I got all these stories. Many of them first hand since he actually drove up to NY-23 and was there live to report on the various endorsements.

I even got link backs, and I got all of these things from the couch of my house rather than having to take an hour drive each way.

Of course with McCain I didn’t get to enjoy beautiful New England fall foliage…

Oh and Apple is a very liberal company, in NY-23 they almost certainly support Dede Scozzafava or the democrat Bill Owens.

Vote Hoffman, Buy Windows 7!

He’s a braver man than me upgrading to Windows 7. Of course he IS upgrading from Vista so that is certainly an incentive.

It is an important article particularly if you are a non-techie. It seems to have worked out for him.

If I was still working at HiWired I’d buy a new system to get up to speed on it at once, however since I’m not working I will wait.

If you have been stalling buying a new system till this moment I’d wait at least another month.

If you need it at once for work reasons then buy a new system if possible, upgrade only if necessary.

If you have limited funds and desperately need a new PC Vista systems will never be cheaper than right now.

Me, I’m ignoring the whole thing and making boneless chicken breasts with a slit in the top which will have slab bacon a new set of locally mixed spices and stuffing on that slit in that order, with baked potatoes and a salad. Sounds much more interesting.
