Will Windows 7 live up to all the hype?

With Winodws 7 just right around the corner I’m wondering if it is going to live up to all the hype. People have said all this good stuff about windows 7 but is it really that good? I have not tried out the beta version yet but I look forward to getting to use Win 7 it when it comes out.

What do you think? Have you tried out the Windows 7 beta version? If so, do you like it? Will you be upgrading to windows 7?

Will businesses switch to Windows 7?

It seems that just about NO businesses use Vista. I’m not surprised. Now, I’m not going to start crying about how bad Vista is neither am I going to tell you that Vista is awesome but personally I just don’t like Windows Vista that much. I don’t think that businesses do either. Maybe it is because it makes their computers “slow” or maybe it is because it is just plain ugly but XP just seems to be the best Microsoft OS these days. Will businesses switch to Windows 7 when it comes out?

What do you think? What operating system is used where you work?

Microsoft lowers Xbox 360 prices

By: Colby Aley

Microsoft today announced that they will be lowering the prices of the Xbox 360.

Xbox 360 Arcade: Still, $199.99

Xbox 360 Pro: lowered by $50 to $249.99

Xbox 360 Elite: lowered by $100 to $299.99

These new prices are effective 8/28/09.

What do you think of the lowered prices? If you have not bought an Xbox 360 already will this convince you to buy one?

UPDATE: The Xbox 360 Pro will be discontinued and is being sold for $250 while supplies last. While the price of the Elite has been dropped, it no longer comes with a HD cable.
