This Incredible Windows 7 Launch Party Video Is Either the Best or Worst Microsoft Ad This Year

Holy Steve Ballmer. This set of Launch Party videos are incredible for its nostalgia sake. No, they’re not old videos; I just thought the whole advertising industry moved past fake setups like this back in the ’90s. Give it a watch and see. My god. They’re talking about having a party for Windows 7. And…

Hercules eCAFÉ Netbook Comes From Nowhere with Windows 7, 250GB Hard Disk

A netbook from Hercules? They’re better known for multimedia peripherals, but apparently the 10.1-inch (1024 x 600) EC-1000W isn’t their first effort. This one looks good, though. Windows 7 and netbook-specs aside, it has 802.11n Wi-Fi, and 50GB online storage. For $400, 250GB is also a good amount of hard disk space, and Windows 7…

Worst Case Scenario: Windows 7 Upgrade Can Take 21 Hours

Now, this is extremely unlikely, and doesn’t correspond to my own experiences, but Microsoft says that in certain situations (crappy hardware, outrageous amounts of data, 32-bit install), the Windows 7 installation could take up to 21 hours to complete. Chris Hernandez, a Microsoft Software Engineer, posted data on his blog tracking the time for both…
