You quipped about getting rid of Cel-Phones, most womens shelters will take them, if the are working they set them up to dial 911 and give to battered women to have an independent way to call for help. Non-Working units are (usually) recycled.

Sounds good. Give us the final details after your test drive of 7. Also, I am a subscriber to ZDNet, so I might be reading your articles in the near future (JUNE 1).

Listen skeyes888…I’ve been writing about IT since 1980….was editor of PC Week for 12 years so don’t judge me on this one post. I just won the 2008 IEEE Dinguished Journalism Award for my Boeing 787 coverage at Design News where I was editor in chief until January. And yes, I wish this wasn’t my first post on Pitstop which wanted something on Windows 7, but our time frames didn’t mesh. I sent a better post to Pitstop on the Kindle DX for its last newsletter, but they chose not to use it. I will have a Windows 7 review for the next newsletter.

FYI, I will start blogging for ZDnet on June 1. So while I understand some of the slings and arrows coming my way, I have three words of advice for my detractors: chill, chill chill.

Really PitStop, where did you find this guy? I’m looking for someone who really has some IT knowledge before I decide to jump into Windows 7, not a novice like myself. I’d venture to say that even I know more than this guy does, and I’m just an intermediate XP user.

I plan to install it after May 21 when I am back from a trip. The 4 GB flash drive might be the best route. I promise to be back with it installed on an netbook and as I said earlier, I knew a post I was stuck would invite some irascible comments. Comes with the territory.

I think the guys is trying to be humorous. I created disk, then installation tok 28 minutes, and configured everything I had on line, even a couple old printers. Playing with it now, with few issues

You are an extremely negative person. Your job is to talk about Windows 7, not to give unnecessarily nonsensical opinion ‘because” you refuse to use your own burner that is indeed available on your desktop.

Microsoft have come a long way and are taking massive leaps to help people out; yet all you do is cry and complain about being in the “rain” of your ‘own making and choosing’. I refuse to read anymore of your nonsense.

This guy has been writing for 10 years and can’t edit or even proof-read his own material???
I was hoping to find a Windows 7 install review that was more in the area of Lamen’s Terms and not too extensive, got a little excited when i saw that this one was only three pages and i still don’t have a clue, because i’m re-reading horrible grammar and wondering why the guy is explaining to me whey he had to drive across twn to get a portable DVD burner??? This guy shouldn’t even be writing reviews.
