I have just been informed that you can pre-order Windows 7 today at the Microsoft Store.

You'll get it for at least half off and that translates into $49.99 for the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade and $99.99 for the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade.

The offer runs until July 11, 2009 or until supplies run out, whichever comes first.

Here you come?  If you haven't made the switch yet, you are behind the 8-ball my friend Smile

Seriously, Axcess (and I) love Microsoft technologies; however when it comes to serving up web pages, nothing beats Apache Linux in my book.

Then behind the eight ball I must be. Microsoft either drops the big brother act, or they don't get my business.
