Taking Advantage of the Windows 7 Upgrade Offer
Well, Windows 7 has been released, and it is a hit, and has garnered good reviews. Upon looking at the list of features included, I think I'd like it as well.
Perhaps the last side effect of my own technological debacle, in which I had to purchase a new laptop, is connected to this event. With the purchase of my Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965, I got an offer for a free Windows 7 upgrade to my system.
I decided to wait on taking advantage of this until Windows 7 came out and any issues lurking with it could be reported. Now that it's been 3 days, I believe the window has passed for reporting major issues with the system, and it is also compatible with Simcity 4 (as Microsoft CEO Balmer broadly promised), thus I have sent out the required information to get my copy of Windows 7.
I probably will not upgrade my computers as soon as I get it, but I would like to have a copy around in case I do decide to go through with an upgrade.
That's my tale of Windows 7, and feel free to share yours in the comments column.

"[Korot] The CEO of Microsoft cares enough about SC4 to make a statement about it?"
No, he did not specifically say anything about it(note: I said "broadly promised"), but he did say that any program which works on Windows Vista will work on Windows 7.
"[servan] I upgraded my laptop the day released. I got the Microsoft $30 student promotion from Win741.com. SC4 works great, haven't had it crash once since moving from Vista."
That's good news.
"[jamonbread] Mine computer won't even run on windows properly because it doesnt have the proper drivers and its only a year old."
I'll be sure to check on that, and also, my computer is only two months old, not a year old.
