    They put up a price tag of 136 USD + KDV (=VAT which is +%18) for a Home Premium which will probably fail with networking at some point for sure and expect me/us to flock towards Microsoft Temple$ ?

    This is just unfair. Nothing else. I sweat my bones to earn 800$ a month.

    "You can't afford, you can't dare going illegal. Yet you're poor yes, we all know that. Shhht ! No-no-no-no, naaasty !"

    Unfair. Living in a world of dumblings who do not give a about where they are marketing their products...I have to shut up or I'll be penetrating all we have advocated so far.

    $136 plus tax for Win7 Home Premium in Turkey? That's ridiculous. There must be discounted version. Heck, you can always get a OED version with a USB cable if it comes down to that.

    Don't be fooled by the retail price. That can't hold. Not when Apple is giving away OS X 10.6 for $30 to anybody who asks, and students are snapping up Win7 for shipping. No, that can't hold.

    Seduce a young wily student in the UK and ask her if you could use their university email account to get it, LeftEyeNine

    Having been forced to work with Vista for a while, not buying it out of principle. Microsoft should understand that people buy a computer because they want to use it, not to pay to beta-test their latest OS. Thanks for the welcome, but looking at it for half an hour kinda outstays it's welcome. I want to be able to open a word document, is that too much to ask? You never know if your command was registered in the first place, should you be lucky enough that you actually opened something you never know when it will open 6 times which takes at least an hour before the system has recovered, and that is before you have written a single line. You never know when, and why, it starts chasing it's tail, it's completely random. I can not work with this it's completely worthless. buying a new Mac.

    That sounds like you were running Vista on a 200MHz computer, Fragony, I've had no problems with Vista and Office 2007.

    Running Crysis on medium. It does not matter how fast your computer is, Vista will eventually choke it, just a matter of time before it grows tired of chasing it's tail and needs a full reboot, I have no idea what it's thinking about, but it must be pretty complicated since it sometimes takes over half an hour before I can even open my browser, it usually takes more time because I have to make sure it actually does understand I want to open my browser, and you can never know if it's actually doing what you asked it to do or if it's completely lost in limbo. Turns out it did register your command, you end up with 5 crashed screens, Vista chokes, restart. restart. restart. FFS PLEASE RESTART. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Crash. restart restat restart FFS PLEASE RESTART IT ISN"T AS IF ASKED SO. MANY. TIMES. And yes I really want to do that. Yes I really want to do that. Did I already tell you I really want to do that? Yeah I still want to do it PLEASE DO IT. Needs a reboot. Now if you are keen on nursing your OS I guess it can be functional, but for someone on a schedule it isn't workable. That is just the internet, checking my e-mail. But I also need Office, 1 or 2 hours before I can open it, usually takes a few reboots because Vista is doing... something, and I can only hope my keyboard hasn't swapped. With my Macbook that is now BROKEN, start, pling, do, does. Why anyone but a gamer would rather drown in a bucket of mollases instead of paying more for something you can use is beyond me.
