The video above is NOT me but I agree with much that he says.
For the last 24 hours plus I have been working night and day to get Windows 7 RC all set up on my computer. I had a few blue screens. A anti-virus program crashed it. I had problems getting it un-installed but did a recovery and got it back to the state it was before the crash. Then later I installed a keyboard driver and it was doing a blue screen warning each re-boot. I removed the keyboard driver and all was OK.
Then I started to get things installed on my computer. I dug and found the code for different software that I had paid for and got it installed. Windows 7 RC was looking pretty good. I liked the feel of it and the look of it.
I hated that it kept wanting to run their messenger.
If they get everything fixed with Windows 7 it is going to be their best version of Windows so far.
I woke up today and I still had a lot of programs that I needed to install and I was thinking which one is going to crash Windows today.
I just got this feeling that it is not worth it.
Then I decided that I wanted to be free of Windows. I am tried of waiting for Windows to crash. I am tried of installing it and getting everything on it and then it works great for months and then it sucks. The only way to keep a good working version of Windows is to format every six months or each year.
I do not know if this guy is correct or not but in this video this guy says that the current Windows 7 RC when it is ready is going to cost $400.00 for the version. I am sure that would be the full cost and you would get it for less if you owned old versions of Windows.
He talks about Ubuntu and as you know I am a big fan of Ubuntu.
To make a long story short..I just formatted my entire 250 GB hard drive and I put on Ubuntu 9.04. I hope that is the end of Windows. I am sick and tired of the poor service and bugs and crashes and problems of Windows.
Now to be honest...how long can I do without all of the programs that I paid for and have been using on Windows? I am be back installing Windows tomorrow. I hope and pray not but I know there are going to be programs that I feel I just must have and I paid for them and they run under Windows only.
We will see what happens.
