| 1232488 | 2011-09-20 11:20:00 | Strange. I read a number of forums on the net and everyone is rambling about how businesses need to upgrade to Windows 7.. Isn't Windows 8 just around the corner? |

| 1232489 | 2011-09-20 11:35:00 | yes you are correct, but windows seven is based for desktops lap tops etc and by the sounds of it windows 8 is heading in a completely different direction, seven is fantastic but everyone is screaming update because there is a panic in the industry about level 4 ip addressing coming to an end , ( reminds me of the y2k panic in 1999 everyone screamed and panicked that every computer in the world would stop on january 1st 2000, which never happened lol funny how history repeats itself |

| 1232493 | 2011-09-20 12:37:00 | Windows 8 appears to be desperately searching for a reason to exist at the moment (other than marketing to get a bit of hysteria going). | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1232494 | 2011-09-20 13:47:00 | seven is fantastic but everyone is screaming update because there is a panic in the industry about level 4 ip addressing coming to an end But you don't need 8 for ipv6, pretty much everything does it, including XP. And the only people screaming "update" are the ones that want your money. ... and new netblocks will only be accessible by ipv6, ipv4 is not going away any time soon. |

| 1232497 | 2011-09-20 21:56:00 | Like many I used to use WIN95 along with "Norton Navigator" (that followed "Norton Commander"). Both I found to be wonderful, they don't make programs that good anymore. | Bryan (147) | ||
