When I have better computers, I will definitely have one of them with Windows 7 installed. From what I've heard, Windows did their homework and made it very worthwhile.

Powershell still pisses me off though 

[Luke_Prowler]

It's awesome. What more is there to say?

BURN THE HERITIC!

[Zironic]

Well, they are giving everyone with Vista a free upgrade. OBEY YOUR MICROSOFT OVERLORD. Now officially not run by Bill Gates.

[Croquantes]

Free, unless you bought or your computer came with the Ultimate Edition of Vista. Elsewise you gotta spend like $279 to buy Windows 7 Ultimate.

[Yanlin]

What's the different between the... Ultimate and Home version anyway? What's the retail price gonna be?

[Armok]

Microsoft is evil, everything they ever do will always be crap by definition independently of it's actual merits and utility.
Information wants to be free!

[Cthulhu]

No it doesn't.  It wants to be bought and sold as a commodity, like everything else.

I believe the phrase you're looking for is "I don't want to pay for games!  I want information to be free!"

Bill gates donated over $30 (I think it's over $40 but I'm not sure. So I went with the statistic that I know is correct.) billion dollars to charity. That's right. Over 30,000,000,000 US dollars to charity. You could buy 50,083,472.5 PS3 at launch day for that kind of money.

How is that in any way evil?

No it doesn't.  It wants to be bought and sold as a commodity, like everything else.

I just want them to stop charging unreasonable costs for it.

 Yanlin speaks the truth. He even did something fancy with money and his son so he would not be spoiled by the wealth they have.

 Mr. Gates is not Evil, he just had some questionable practices a while ago and some strong personal opinions. And wasn't the issue over Microsoft being a Monopoly? An issue that is totally and completely false nowadays?

 I don't want this thread to break down to whatever events I have not heard of while trying to search up sources for my own points(Something the opposition to me won't do because I won't wall them out each and every time they make a statement.) I want it to stay out of flame territory and smack dab in the middle of Windows 7 land.

[Armok]

Oh, Bill Gates is aright, he stated the personal computing revolution and donate to charity and stuff like that. But Microsoft is evil.

[Yanlin]

Microsoft is evil... How exactly? Do they eat babies or something?

(Strawman has a point...)

[Chutney]

Microsoft is an abstract concept representative of a large number of people. It also has no sentience, so it cannot be good or evil. Calling Microsoft evil is like calling the wind evil.

Now the heads of Microsoft, they could be evil, but I don't know anything about them so I wouldn't know.

... only if you bought vista recently. not if you bought it when it came out.

which is kinda stupid, because it seems to me that windows 7 is basically a vista patch(albeit really big)

not that i know what im talking about, so dont feel the need to jump on me.

I think Vista is the giant patch. Windows 7 is a new version. Like XP.
