We had a Dell plant here in Winston-Salem. The local city government paved the way several years ago with incentives to Dell Corporate in exchange for increasing the number of Jobs. Now, with the economy the way it is, Dell has closed down the plant and an ugly battle ensues over payback of the incentives. The local atmosphere is anti-Dell.
On a positive note, my youngest daughter got a Macbook Pro 13" as her college laptop this past summer. We were so impressed with it that I ordered one for my wife on Black Friday. Apple had a special one day deal where the Pro was $101 cheaper and the Windows Office Suite was only $99 installed. It shipped from Shanghai on Monday and was in our driveway on Thursday. Merry Christmas. When our Gateway desktop dies, it will most likely be replaced with another Apple product.
Having said all that, has anyone replaced Vista with Windows 7? Is it difficult to do?
