Review by MG

I had to upgrade a laptop already running Win 7 home version to make my laptop able to run some business apps. The Amazon download process worked just fine. No issues with that at all, THAT part earns Amazon 5 stars. The low rating for the PRODUCT is due to the fact I am not a fan of Microsoft.

I am technically savvy engineer / business owner, not an IT professional, but I can fix and maintain all the hardware I use. Windows 7 is typical MS bloat ware. It takes forever to boot on my 2 year old Acer compared to Snow Leopard 5 on my year old macbook (YES I have maintained the hard drive, done all the necessary maintenance and upgraded the memory). Windows code just can’t keep pace with Mac OS. Just MY experience, YMMV.

Ok, my rant is over. If you need to work in a Windows environment and can’t use XP Professional, this is as good as it gets.
