After reading the article, I continued to read the comments below and I believe I can go back to when I "upgraded" from 98SE to ME and if you just change the year and the OS, it's the same with every release Microsoft puts out.
The is one difference this time, I think they finial got it right. I don't think there will be to much arguing that Win 7 is the best they have ever done. This OS is good.
On that basis, I don't think the price is to high. The only reason it's to high is I don't have the money!
