Well, I finally got off my buttski and installed Windoze 7
Ultimate on
my iMac.

Installed it under VM. Deleted Windoze Vista first. Installation was
absolutely uneventful. Now, I have just a handful of apps to install
under 7 that I actually use.

I have no idea yet what advantages 7 offers over Vista.

simple-minded day.

I looked at it, but the cost ( $249.00 Can. ) for the simplest
program
turned me off.

I'm a worn out old MS beta tester, and got a DVD from MS with every
single variation of 7 on it.

If you beta tested Windows 7 why don't you know the pros/cons vs.
Vista?



Because I didn't beta test 7. I've said that previously; I was running
Vista on my Macs. But MS send me the DVD last week anyway. So I
installed 7 earlier today. Quack.




I guess you're just special...

Everyone else just got the Ultimate version.

Microsoft today sent an email to participants of the invitation-only
Windows 7 and Server
2008 Technical Beta Program, informing them that their free
commemorative boxed copy of Windows 7 Ultimate will be delivered in the
next four to six weeks. Redmond said that most shipments should arrive
via FedEx, and that no tracking number will be provided. The email also
noted that people outside the US may have to pay duties or other local
taxes upon receipt.



Everyone else, eh? How the hell would you know what "everyone else" got?
Quack.



Quack, Quack....
