Should you buy Windows 7?

With its release in 2009, Windows 7 gained national spotlight as one of the greatest operating systems Microsoft has ever built. A consumer can get this magnificent operating system, which was like getting a brand new computer, for only $119.99. What a deal! Or was it? Microsoft Windows Engineers and Marketing Team just could not get enough money; or at least that is what it seemed liked. To understand the basics for an excellent operating system, we need to go back to Windows 2000 and Windows XP. With both of these operating systems Windows Engineers worked hard on making sure the users cost would stay down during the upgrade. The engineers ensured that previous software releases would be compatible with the new operating system. This allowed users to enjoy their favorite computer program to be used on their "new" computer. The Windows operating system could also be used on up to 3 computers, making the operating systems easily affordable to large families. During Windows 7's premiere to the world a version, known as Windows 7: Family Pack, was released. This allowed users to purchase a copy of Windows 7: Home Premium for up to 3 computers. Microsoft kept this product off the advertising pages, hoping consumers would purchase Windows 7 retail version, only allowing users to install their product on one computer and purchasing additional copies for other computers. Shortly after Windows 7's release, the Family Pack was "killed". Microsoft had stopped manufacturing the software and sold what was left in stock. This came at one of the worst times. During the pull of Microsoft Windows 7: Family Pack, the United States was in a horrible economic crisis. Consumers slowly decreased on purchasing item they "want" and focused on items they "needed". Microsoft believed they were at the top of the world and selfishly wanted the consumer's money. Microsoft believed that their product, Windows 7, was a "need" not a "want". Consumers who wanted to run the Windows 7 Operating System on 3 computers would have to pay $359.97 for the Operating System, opposed to the Family Pack price of $149.99. With Windows 7, many programs and hardwares have to be upgraded. The Dell Dimension 3000 is a desktop computer built in 2005. It came pre-installed with Windows XP and runs smoothly with gaming devices. This computer is not all that old. However, to install Windows 7, a user would have to purchase a Video Card upgrade costing approximately $45. This $45 card will not support the power supply that came with the computer. An upgrade of approximately $50 is needed to allow a user to run this Video Card. The bottom line is, this innocent $119.99 operating system comes out to be more than most people can afford at this time. Currently I have spent $384.98 for the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system and add-on accessories needed to have the operating system work properly for two (2) computers. So, what will Microsoft's Windows have in store for us next? At this time, who knows? Hopefully they regain control and do what is best for the users, keep the cost down!

Can you update your gateway PC running Microsoft Windows 98 se to running Microsoft Windows xp home edition?

Your upgrade optionsIf you want to upgrade your system to Windows XP, the first thing you need to do is verify that it meets the system requirements for the newer operating system.You will need:Windows 98 or later version of Microsoft Windows operating system. You can't upgrade from Windows 95 or earlier versions.At least a 233Mhz processor. Any manufacturer (AMD, Intel, IBM, VIA, etc.) will do.At least 128MB of system memory.1.5 Gigabytes of free hard drive space (note that you should have at least 3 gigabytes if you want to do any meaningful work with your system after the upgrade).A CD-Rom or CD/RW drive.Mouse and keyboard (either USB or PS/2).A video adaptor and monitor capable of displaying 800x600 resolution. If you are not sure about this, change the resolution within Windows 98 by right clicking on an empty area of the desktop and selecting 'properties' then going to the 'settings' tab. The resolution slider is at the bottom left. Set it to '800x600' and click 'apply.' If your screen is still legible, you are fine. If the 800x600 option is unavailable, you may need to upgrade your video adaptor before upgrading Windows.Note that if the screen becomes scrambled, blank or unreadable, you will probably need a new monitor as your current one cannot handle the required resolution. If your system meets the minimum requirements for Windows XP, it's time to find out which version of the operating system you can upgrade to.

You are installing a 2nd HDD with another OS do you need to partition?

All hard drives must have at least one partition to be usable by an operating system, even if the partition uses the entire drive. If you are installing an operating dissimilar from the one you are using currently (ie. Windows XP and FreeBSD), you should partition the disk from that system's installer, not in Windows.


What operating system best supports all applications?

There is no operating system that supports 'all' applications. However, Windows (not including Windows Vista) seems to be the most compatible with most applications, and Mac OS X seems the least compatible because software must be specifically made for Mac, and even some software does not have Mac capabilities.
