Although, I'm not outside the USA, I like to keep up with these developments. I can't wait to see if Windows 7 will redeem Vista the way X.P. redeemed M.E. Windows Vista, aka "mojave" "longhorn" et al., has a long and checkered past and I have been lucky enough to be able to wait it out and jump the gulf from X.P. directly to 7. I hope the wait hasn't been needless; if 7 bites the dust, I may have to just go back to Amiga Workbench and Fred Fish. (Just kidding, but I may go Linux!) -Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Muir To: MIDIMag ; Dancing Dots E-mail List ; Free Sonar Scripts Sent: Friday, June 26, 2009 4:30 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Windows 7 Pricing Worth a read: http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE55O2YT20090625?sp=true And it looks like Microsoft are having a bit of a spat with European regulators which could result in us not being able to purchase a Windows upgrade or, we could end up with a version of Windows in Europe that ships without Internet Explorer. If you live in Europe then, you will want to read this one: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8118749.stm Hmm, I wonder how much the OEM version will cost?
