    Does'nt the UK have higher taxes as well as an addon cost.

    Personally I would avoid Windows 7 (look naff, fancy doing away with classic start menu). They are probably working on Windows Nasty (v8) next.

    I made that mistake with Vista before I swiftly went back to XP, it does all that I require without hogging resources.

    Such a shame that the old unproductive and inefficient start menu is gone..

    Yeah, they will be. And whatever iteration will end up the 9th in the series..
