I am not a Windows Fan (neither a detractor) but as Grimsrud from Intel said "I'm very impressed with Windows 7. It's very encouraging".<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7901532637592083797-9112485230187805036?l=tips-r-us.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carlos Acosta Alamohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09244448067886511576noreply@blogger.com0
