Today is the day. Windows 7 is officially released, and stores will begin selling computers with Windows 7 pre-installed.
How i have been waiting for this day!
I have two laptops right now. One is 3 years old, has 512MB of memory and was dirt cheap when i bought it. It’s physically falling apart. The other is an Apple Powerbook, which is even older, 5 years maybe? It was a nice computer in it’s heyday, but it’s ancient now. Computers age faster than dogs. Both my laptops have become slower than mud. It is way past time for me to replace them.
I could have bought a new laptop anytime in the past months with the plan to upgrade to Windows 7 after it was released. But then i would have had to deal with Vista, and that thought makes me throw up a little in my mouth. So, perhaps illogically, i chose instead to wait and get a shiny new laptop that doesn’t have to be configured in any way.
And now the day is here! Oh, the anticipation! Which laptop will be the chosen one?

More excitement! At work, in the lobby, some teckies were demo-ing the new features of Windows 7. There was a drawing. And i won a T-shirt!
