It’s no surprise that the pirating of Windows 7 is just so obsessive right now. Microsoft Vista was such a disastrous release. Microsoft release Vista thinking it would be the answer to XP and it was just the opposite.

I wouldn’t really buy a Windows 7 Key from EBay and I wouldn’t buy a copy Windows 7 before it’s release date. And Reuters is already reporting China has Windows 7 on the shelves for close to $3.

The problem that’s pointed out in that article is the same as the issue that’s here. Windows 7 is too damn expensive and if people can’t buy it; they are going to pirate it. Where’s there’s a need, there’s a supplier and where there’s a supplier… there are crooks and opportunists.

	AT&T reps say for new home svc.. the svc will be turned on sometime between 8am and 8pm…so much for customer svc! AT&T you suck. [lehenryjr]
	I ship’d pakg w/USPS 3 wks ago & it’s not there yet. Call’d USPS to trak it; nuthin they can do- they tell me ‘use someone else next time’. [lehenryjr]
	Don’t ship with USPS; they don’t guarantee a time when it’ll be there; just that it’ll get there at some point. & cost less with FedEx/UPS. [lehenryjr]
	Why do you have to get phone svc, if all you want is DSL Internet svc? Actual phone svc is not required for Internet- only the phone line. [lehenryjr]
