5 out of 5 stars Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack   November 27, 2009
E. H. Williams (Rancho Cordova, CA United States)
The package came without damage and in original packing (as expected). This is an excellent deal for anyone who has multiple computers and wants to upgrade them to Windows 7 (well worth the upgrade). The only issue I had was that the 32 bit (it comes with 32 & 64 bit discs) was slightly out of balance and would not load onto my Dell XPS M1530 laptop so I used the 64 bit to load onto it. The 32 bit did load on my Dell desktop though.


3 out of 5 stars A VISTA SYSTEM REPAIR   November 27, 2009
Jim Johnson (Arizona)
Windows7 basically repairs all the problems with the VISTA operating system which Microsoft should have repaired through updates at no charge. If you upgrade from an operating system previous to Vista ( such as XP) you will be buying a lot of bells and whistles if that's what turns you on. Windows 7 has no e-mail program so your forced to down load a web-based e-mail or buy Microsoft Outlook for another $147.00. Before I bought Windows 7 I believed the commercials about how much faster it would operate - WRONG - it's no faster than XP and I run a 6G machine.


5 out of 5 stars So far - so good   November 27, 2009
Sebo (Pennsylvania)
Been a month now and no problems so far. Looks like Microsoft got this one right for a change.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic deal on Microsoft's Best OS yet   November 26, 2009
J. Winter (Mississauga, ON, Canada)
I've been using Windows 7 since the beta, and it's fantastic. I've recently started using the Jump List feature a lot more. When you right click on any item in the start menu in windows 7, you get a list of the 10 most recently used documents in that program. You can also "pin" documents to the start menu, such as Word or Excel documents that you use very often.

I'm also a big fan of the ability to drag a window to the left or right side of the screen to maximize it over half the screen, and the top of the screen to make it full screen.

The more I use Windows 7 the more I find its built-in features save me time, and I like that.

The home premium upgrade is the most cost-effective way to upgrade 3 home PC's. 'Nuff said.



2 out of 5 stars Be careful   November 25, 2009
Jerry L. Parker (Seattle, WA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

No one will tell you this - but you cannot upgrade to WIn7 Home from any version of Vista but Vista Home. I tried to upgrade one of my Vista Business installations and it won't allow it. It would be nice if Micro-(insert slander of choice here) would tell people this (but they don't). To make matters worse, there is no "Upgrade" path from Home to Business Or Professional. Basically - I'm out the money, or perform a fresh install. Nice. Thanks Bill, Really! I appreciate it.
