My OperaTech Advice for the ordinary end user..

Hello Folks,
I will assume that the reader is aware of Microsoft's Windows 7
a Operating System.
Two years ago Microsoft introduced Vista(OS) and could not sell it.
Hence, like Windows ME(remember that?) a flop, we are told by the tech
press that W-7 is the "must have" software.
W-7* is a minor improvements and a lot of eye candy, over the next few months we will read what old software works or does not(the cost of buying a tweaked version of the same software you use now for W-7 is money misspent.
If your computer is 5 years and older wait until you get a new one and most
likely W-7 will be installed in the new computer with drivers and bundled
software.
I highly recommend a slow move to Linux and Open Source systems
for home users. The cost of buying software is greater then the hardware.
The message is: wait until you get a new computer.

* W-7 = Windows 7
