So I had been waiting for sometime for Windows to finally sweep Vista under the rug just as they did with Windows ME. They have a bad habit of locking down their software for their loyal customers. So if it wasn’t bad enough that you payed potentially hundreds of dollars for Vista, then you of course have to pay at least a hundred more for Microsoft Office suite. “Well what’s so special about that? I’ll just stick to my 2003 Office suite.” Yeah, Microsoft already had that in mind. So that’s why they made a whole freaking new file format called docx. Most people don’t care until they get to school and find out their school switched to the new Microsoft Office suite or the opposite could occur (They update at home, but school/work has not yet.) This creates an obvious software conflict thus creating a higher demand for Vista…then for the Office suite since it isn’t offered with Vista. But…I digress. Luckily we all have something to look forward to. Windows is going to try to redeem itself with Windows 7. “So is this a whole new operating system?” From what I understand yes and no. It will be built off of Vista and really its just a whole new improvement of the Vista operating system. Well that isn’t half bad…Except for the people who already payed for Vista, because now they will be paying twice for the product they wanted originally. From what I hear the beta testers like it quite a bit and some have even moved over to Microsoft 7 Beta permanently. I’m definitely looking forward to the directx 10 and the added memory recognition above 3.2GBs.
