4 out of 5 stars Windows 7 - Family Pack   November 21, 2009
Woozer (Stevens Point, WI)
Windows 7 is the next version of Microsoft's OS. This version is what Vista should have been and is a great next OS for those that have been waiting (as I was) for the next viable upgrade solution for Windows XP. The Family pack of Windows 7 is the most cost effective way to upgrade several (3) computers within the home. It should be note that although it is a three user license pack, the product only comes with one license key that can be used three times. For some this may be of interest if the plan was to buy the one product and share with a friend or neighbor. As always Amazon shipped in a timely factor and the product arrived shortly after the official Windows 7 release date.


4 out of 5 stars my win 7 review.   November 21, 2009
Marc A. Bavas (Hydetown, Pa.)
I like this version best of all versions of Windows. I would have given it 5 (five) stars, but I didn't like the fact that it would only alow you to pick microsoft items for media playing and web surfing for default setings. It also asked you to pick your choices every time you logged on until you did pick them.
Otherwise it is GREAT. Faster startups and faster shutdowns. The only operating systems that have beat these times is my Linux systems.

4 out of 5 stars Windows 7 upgrade ( 3user)   November 21, 2009
LAW
first computer: Install over vista home basic upgrade version. Windows 7 would not install over Vista upgrade. On phone with MS. two hours later they could not resolve problem. They said they would have a higher level tech call back. They were very polite and cooperative but couldn't come up with a way to install 7 on the computer. Searched internet for a solution. It said that I had to do a fresh install of the Windows 7 by first installing 7 without entering key code them reinstalling within the first 7 install then entering the key code. Very complicated.
Second computer: Install over vista premium full version. Upgrade within vista premiom went without problem.
Third computer: Install will again be over vista home basic upgrade version reluctant to do fresh install because the wife has a lot of pictures on computer. Install on this computer on hold.



4 out of 5 stars Great upgrade, everything Vista wasn't   November 20, 2009

Had Vista on two machines, bought the family pack and upgraded one to 32 bit HP and the other to 64 bit HP. Had issues with switchable discrete graphics, but a BIOS update from Lenovo had me up and running just fine.

Overall a smooth transition and 7 is great.

NOTE: Microsoft sells this product for $150 on the MS online store. I don't know why anyone would spend $200 or more here for what is selling from the manufacturer for $150.



5 out of 5 stars Goodbye Vista!   November 20, 2009

Prompt delivery on release day, love the family pack pricing, install was EFFORTLESS! I did a fresh install, as I prefer to do always if possible, and W-7 sailed right through, detecting my network, internet connection, analog TV tuner card, etc., etc. Took about an hour each for my desktop Dell unit, and about the same for the wife's Toshiba laptop. The only thing which was remotely complicated was when it put the laptop into hibernate mode after awhile, and the wife didn't know how to wake it and did a forced shutdown with the power button. It had trouble restarting and restored an earlier install, pre-iTunes, so I had to reload that, educated the wife and disable the snooze mode.
