Microworx Great News!!!! We are allowed to sell computers (and software) with Windows 7 as of TODAY. Small Computer stores usually don’t get a leg up on our larger competition, but the big guys (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc) have a restricted contract with Microsoft and cannot sell systems or the software with Windows 7 until Oct. 22.... Here is how you can buy Windows 7:
1. With a new system — Microworx must install and verify proper operation.
2. Purchase outright — with a non-Microsoft computer hardware component.
3. PC in for repair/upgrade — customer must purchase a non-Microsoft computer hardware component and Microworx must install and verify proper operation.
Currently (and probably until the 22nd), we can only sell the OEM version of Windows 7.
We have all 3 versions of Windows 7 OEM in stock (Home, Business and Ultimate).
See our website for pricing. www.microworx.com

Judy Will Microworx offer installation service to upgrade WinXP to Windows 7? I'm at the point where I can't install or uninstall any software on this few months old PC from Microworx already.

Judy -- I'm sure we will be offering upgrades to Windows 7, but with Windows XP this will require us to reformat and install Windows 7 freshly. We can backup your data, but you would need to reinstall your other applications software. Of course, we'll have to wait for the Windows 7 release on October 22nd.
Thanks

Microworx 5 Windows 7 Issues Microsoft Needs To Address Now

www.crn.com
Except that isn't happening, according to many users on TechNet and reviewers' findings in the CRN Test Center. Win7 x64 is backing up the entire system again and again, eating up tons of disk space and extending backup jobs that should take a few minutes into hours.

My general guideline is that any PC-style computer that has at least 1G of RAM can be expected to give a satisfactory linux experience.

Marcene Since I don't assume I am unique in this problem, here's a question:

Have you heard of any viruses (or whatever) out there that would get into your WEBmail (NOT talking about Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, or any of the common ones) that would spoof you so that your spam filters wouldn't catch them (not even by blocking the e-mai...l address itself!), but would also prevent you from forwarding copies of those same emails to your ISP tech support?

If so, what are they and why wouldn't they be caught by: AVG, Superantispyware, SpyBot S&D, Anti-Malware, Spyware Blaster or ASC? Are some of these not supposed to be run in Safe Mode?

(Only use Firefox with No-Script, AdBlock Plus, Finjan and InterClue)

Sure, I could bring this in, but if I am overlooking something I'd like to know.

Yes, plenty of viruses and trojans can have this effect. Until Congess passes more anti spamming laws and such there really is not much one can do. here are a few tips. Have an antivirus that works, use atleast 2 or 3 spyware tools, understand how they work and when you need to run them and finally, practice safe surfing skills. One really needs to... See More Understand and learn how a website is put together, what is advertising and what is actually the internet page you intended to look at. Thanks for the question.

I know that one should not run more than one anti-virus program at a time, but I currently have SEVERAL antispyware tools I run regularly, of which several run in the background (AVG antispyware, SuperAntispyware, SpywareBlaster) - is that a potential problem?
