My Bad Luck: Windows 7 Irony
|
|
I had contacted Microsoft several weeks ago asking if I could get a media version of Windows 7, since I would be starting a new category with featured articles about Windows 7 on my DragonBlogger.com site. Microsoft had told me they would let me know if they can send me a copy and I waited patiently. Windows 7 meanwhile was released on October 22nd 2009 and I hadn’t heard back from Microsoft, so I assumed they weren’t planning on sending me a copy. I bought a full version of Windows 7 Home Premiere and paid full retail price for it, upgrading my system and writing my first Windows 7 related blog posts.
A week later a FedEx package arrives with a full media license version of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition from Microsoft saying they have granted me the media copy. Had I received this just one week prior I would have saved $220 dollars out of my own pocket, and now I have 2 versions of Windows 7. I will be using the Media version of Windows 7 Ultimate and probably save my store bought Home Premium until I need it for another computer in my household at a later date.
I still would like to thank Microsoft for sending me a fully licensed media copy of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition both 64bit and 32bit versions, this was very generous of them.

That’s really bad luck Justin.
It would have been nice if someone at microsoft just took 5 minutes, wrote a two sentence email and said yes but it’ll take ____ weeks. It would have been helpful.
Anyway Im sure you’re happy with windows 7 though. A lot of people are giving it good reviews.

I am very happy with Windows 7 64 bit, I only have one problem: My USB audio device picks up a feedback hiss or buzz on Windows 7, that isn’t there on Windows Vista, might be the USB Audio driver or codec, but it makes it very hard to do recordings, have to manually run noise filter removals and takes 2x as long to do any voice recording work.
