Subject: Windows 7 Upgrade Struggles Continue
By Shane O'Neill. Excerpted from PC World.

Windows 7 is now generally available and deals are everywhere, so you
should start cranking on those upgrades or researching which new PC to
buy, right? Well, not so fast.

A week after the launch of Vista's replacement, much of the talk
around Windows 7 has been about upgrade snags and too many reboots,
and a money-saving installation workaround that Redmond let slide.
There was also straight talk on Windows 7 security and some advice on
the right time to upgrade. Strong hint: It's not now.

There are also conflicting reports about enteprise plans for Windows
7, with some chomping at the bit to get off XP and others content to
wait for Windows 7 to mature.

In other words, getting to Windows 7 is more complicated than it
seems.

Here is a round up of Windows 7 upgrade stories from CIO.com and its
sister publications.

cautious about jumping on Windows 7 too quickly.

I have read PC World for years and trust it thoroughly so the above
negativity was a bit of shock.

But what you said is either rubbish or an error.  When I tracked the
text down it is just from cio.com as might have been obvious from the
text.

Tch.  If you are going to spam, at least spam accurately ^ ^
