...Wow, a response from Microsoft on my blog. Neat.<br /><br />Actually, I got the issue resolved, and I'm going to continue using Windows 7, because overall I really like it. It just scares me a little now.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776917750757825408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776205147286643847.post-36137746630921978262009-06-24T07:46:18.059-07:002009-06-24T07:46:18.059-07:00Derek,

There have been several reports of users who have experienced very similar situations as yourself. The best thing I could recommend is check with the site in which they received help if you plan to give Windows 7 a try again. Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 RC Support Forum located here http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5 . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to post your question there.<br /><br />Also, the final version, that will have this issue resolved is due out October 22nd. Just in case you wanted to try that one as well.<br /><br />Jessica<br />Microsoft Windows Client TeamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776205147286643847.post-53899180256351777572009-06-22T23:54:43.988-07:002009-06-22T23:54:43.988-07:00That sucks!

I almost didn't buy a Gateway (I'd heard bad things, but those stories were years ago), but it had the best specs for the best price. So far the hardware is actually good...I'm just taking a bit of a risk with Windows 7. I never knew a software bug could cripple your system so completely...be careful!Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776917750757825408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776205147286643847.post-12031565470257736602009-06-22T09:09:48.524-07:002009-06-22T09:09:48.524-07:00Thanks for the heads up...I have Windows 7 on one ...Thanks for the heads up...I have Windows 7 on one of my machines and really like it too. I was happy I could go from XP to 7, without having to live with Vista at all. But man, what a bug! That sucks. <br /><br />Hate to say anything bad about your choice but Gateway? I mean, when I taught classes for them, their tech dept. was busy, busy!<br /><br />But know they are cheap, cheap and understand a student's income. <br /><br />When you become a rich Dr., you can buy a MAC!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305124493220090509noreply@blogger.com
