Windows Live?

Some people are complaining about Windows 7 not having the Windows Live suite of software on the new shipment of Windows 7.

…

What? Okay, I know that computers are no being built for the web but honestly… Not all PC’s are. Also what I don’t get is that the download is free. Why is this so important for Windows 7. It’ll just make the OS even less memory efficient and not all Windows users use MSN. I think more things need doing to 7 before they think of putting in live, mainly that silly Starter idea.

Windows 7…Starter?

Well… I’ll admit that I use Mac OS X, but I really don’t myself to seem to be an Apple fanboy, because I am so not! Anyway, I’m going to talk about Microsoft’s new version of Windows called “7″… wtf with the name?

More to the point, Starter is going to use the 32-bit processing like Home Basic does in Vista. However, because the bastard is a memory hog that you’ll need 4 GBs of RAM so it runs properly, you’ll be limited to running three apps at once… The heck? Honestly, when I boot my Windows machine, I open MSN, Firefox and my mail app… Thats my limit already. So are you saying to run a virus scan, I’ll have to close one of these. What the hell were Microsoft thinking? They have now lost their minds of what people use on Computers and even people who don’t use PC’s that often will find this stupid.

Also, Home Basic won’t reach the UK or the US so we have to pay our debts to Microsoft for Home Premium or stick with Starter. Frankly, Microsoft can piss off if they think this is a good idea.

Idiots.
