That was Vista
"lots of new hardware doesn't work with it"
A lot of software doesn't work with W7
Why, because MS wants it that way. Software, eg, my sister has just purchased a new laptop W7, Google earth doesn't want to install on it, there is a reg key work around, but why do we have to hack the registry to fix it?
Please tell me why the plastic junk I'm sitting in front of now running W7 asks for permission to run even an email program, Oh that's right, I don't use MS Crap except for the operating system.
Anyway this isn't helping bluejay
