From what I can see, the main reason why it has taken so long for Win7 to reach a 50 % adoption rate worldwide is the fact that in China, where many older computers are in use in computer cafes, nearly 70 % of the visits to StatCounter's network of 3 million websites are from computers using Win...

«Yes you have to spend a fair wad of cash , but ultimately computers are cheap and labor is expensive, and shitty old computers cost more money in labor costs than would be lost by simply increasing performace with an upgrade.» Yes, indeed, but the benefits of upgrading the machine park aren't...

Perhaps it's not out of place to point out that there do exist alternatives to Windows OS, no matter whether these latter are called XP, Vista, or Windows 7 ? I've used all of the above, and must confess that the latest version of Ubuntu, 10.10 does a far better job of meeting my needs than any...

It gets kinda interesting to see how they tout IE as this rival for Firefox or google? TO me it is just a part of Windows that they have been improving on since the beginning.
