Microsoft, When Will You Stop Being a Douche?
Last fall when I heard you could try out Windows 7 release client for free, I signed up. I absolutely LOVE the product. As has been said in 15,000 different places, it’s Vista done right. What just dawned on me when modifying my desktop:

that the release candidate will start shutting off with 2 hours of use. After a bit of research I’ve found that if I had Vista Home Premium on this PC, I could upgrade to Windows7 Home Premium. But since Microsoft isn’t selling Windows7 Home Basic, I can’t upgrade my Vista Home Basic License.
The question is, do I spend $200 on the retail version or buy another PC? For another 200 hundred dollars I could actually buy a desktop (Inspiron Zino HD with Windows7 on it). I could downgrade to Windows Vista, but that’s not an option. It’s such a horrible OS, I can’t put myself through that. Microsoft you aren’t making this easy.
