Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 3 Users Family Pack Upgrade 4.4 5 35 38
Windows 7 Home Family Pack for 3 Pc's I was some what dismayed at the thought of upgrading to a new Operating System. For months I said"NO", until Windows release date. The market began to expose what Microsoft had to offer. Windows 7 Home Family Pack is ideal for installation on 3 PC's. It was a good idea, that Microsoft did not over price the home user. An affordable price at $149. 10/23/2009
The Best Windows... by miles! I've been using Windows 7 since beta (7-8 months) and have been thoroughly impressed by the improvements over Vista and XP. I pre-ordered Professional for my computer and I'm going to purchase this Family Pack for the rest of the machines in our home. This is a great upgrade and is well worth the expense, especially if you have a fairly new Vista computer. You should notice an increase in speed and responsiveness when moving from Vista to 7, even on the same hardware. It's also, in my opinion, much easier to use than Vista; more intuitive overall and has some really nice usability features. 11/02/2009
Great improvemnent! Much better than Windows Vista. Had nothing but problems with it. Used Beta version of Windows 7 when it first came out. Am buying the 3 computer deal for the rest of my computers. 11/07/2009
Unenthusiastic Upgrader I hate change. Fundamentally. Have to be forced (or tricked) into upgrading anything about the office systems. They work fine, don't mess with them, they might rebel is my theory; however, when one of the PC's gave up the ghost recently, the one I bought to replace it had, guess what: Windows 7 OS. Needless to say, 7 & XP (which every other machine in the office was running) don't play nice together. 7 is speedy and gregarious, XP was balky & pouty. Thus came the decision to upgrade the rest to W7. This package deal was awesome: 3 systems for the price of one. What could be better, right? Well! Let me tell you, I spent a full Sunday making this happen, because I was afraid I'd lose a day's work doing it during office hours. Turns out I was right.First, in tiny print on the package, you discover that upgrading XP to W7 causes a complete wipe of your system (including your "Favorites"!!), so plan on lots of time backing up.Also, be prepared to invest time learning about homegroups and networking if you want more than one system to share files.Some strange things I've had to get used to: "My Documents" hides in "Libraries" sometimes, and other times, it's front and center, and you can't make-drag-hide toolbars like in XP (but "Pin to Start" & "Pin to Taskbar" are GREAT!) but the themes and desktop manipulation has been great. Love the customization 7 allows.Overall W7 is turning out to be an upgrade I can not only live with, but become more productive with. No regrets. 11/02/2010
