Anyone who has ever purchased a new computer to replace an old one, more than once, can understand the inherent problems with doing so without the added problems of dealing with a beta version of an operating system.
Windows 7 is a beta version. Unproven.....USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
In my opinion, the hardware vendors are viewing this as an opportunity to increase sales. They would basically be forcing us to discard MANY pieces of perfectly functioning equipment and purchase new equipment replacements. I find this tactic unscrupulous and unacceptable.
Microsoft as well as other computer manufacturers (and/or assembly companies) are as guilty, if not more so, in providing their products with such beta software.
It's given to them free of charge from Microsoft, without support, to perpetuate the software as a marketing scheme. Take note the word "scheme". Check your dictionary, as a consumer the word "scheme" is NOT to your benefit.
