I have not purchased Windows 7, I am happy with Vista for now untill I graduate. I would probably purchase it through Purdue for they get a discount on the softwares. My computer is nt running tht fast the way it is. It also looks likes you are off to a good start with the LED light in the greenhouse!

I am actually in the process of purchasing Windows 7. It seems like as soon as one software package comes out, within the year or so a new one comes out. By doing this Microsoft seems to simply keep on taking money from everyone. Beta versions of Microsoft seem to work well, but I wish I was more informed with technology so I could update software in a way without spending hundreds of dollars to buy new software.

I agree that their are still some problems but as they continue to update windows they try to correct these errors.

Thanks for the heads up on getting around the beta version!!!! I have not updated yet but ill get to it later. For a poor student this is an awesome deal.
The plants are looking good too. Im jealous because I like growing plants too and wish I had a green house.

Giving the free trial is a principle of persuasion to suck you in, get hooked, (foot in the door) but it’s also a fair attempt to get people to purchase the product. Allow the consumer to use and see if it is actually something they want to invest in, and if they get “hooked” then the customer should be grateful they had the opportunity to trial it free, otherwise they may never have known to make the purchase.

hey i had the same problem with windows seven…but for me the one i was running was a flawed hacked version so its partially my fault. i also did something similar and got a “new” hacked version going. Ur right about Microsoft being an evil empire…but they know how to make the best customer rated software. i hope those tomatoes grow well, i couldn’t watch all of it, my eyes started hurting from the led lights.

Thats really stupid that they would make it so you would have to start all over. (smart for them, but an inconvience to us consumers, both mentally and wallet-wise.) Even more amazing that you were able to keep all of your old files and get the new version anyways. how did you know how to do that? and that it would work?

ps.-Your lighting system for the gren house seems to do be holding up well! your green house looks beautiful.

Yes, these companies are out for profit first. However, it is not their fault alone that everything is getting updated so quickly. If you think about Moore’s Law and how quickly technology is progressing, if they do not go quickly they will get left behind. For us students, we use whatever the school is compatible with; which in turn, makes us have to update to keep up with the school. The companies know this and use it to their advantage.I just wish they never made vista.

I think Microsoft knows that people are doing these kinds of things, but they could probably care less because of all the average joes out there who have no idea how to hack are paying them big bucks. On the other hand, couldn’t them saying that you can’t update be false advertising? LED lights are cool!
