798133 2009-08-04 22:20:00 Well, Win 7 doesnt work with sierra wireless 595 card, have to say that is disappointing. Telecom Connection Manager (VPN) wont install either, xp mode doesnt help.....!!

I'm starting to lose my excitement of this o/s

798134 2009-08-04 22:37:00 Interesting article.

One thing that caught the eye
Why is Microsoft limiting the supply of Family Packs? Family Packs will become available at Windows 7's official launch on Oct. 22 and will be available only until supplies last, Microsoft said. Why? Probably to create a sense of scarcity, in order to stoke demand and excitement, as its recently concluded limited time offer of discounted Windows 7 pre-orders did. That doesn't sound exactly promising.

798136 2009-08-05 03:18:00 Well I have had my play with Win7 and I am now back with WinXP Pro 64 bit.

That will be where I am staying too.

798137 2009-08-05 03:18:00 im quite keen for a family pack - as our house now has 3 computers that are all recently built and can easily handle vista\windows 7 so there are no worries there

now to convince the other 2 people to cough up part of the cash and somehow stop them freaking out cause they cant handle the change from XP to 7 :o
