Why is the forum so dead lately? Each day it just gets less and less active.

Actually most the members are taking time to:
1. start saving $money so they can BUY this highly Over priced Super OS
2. Many are looking the the cheapest place to BUY
3. Many are waiting the HACKERs to obtain Windows 7 RTM (real McCoy) and then CRACK it.
4. The rest are waiting for the REAL McCoy to install - test for 120 days and then see if "IS IT REALLY WORTH THE $.
5. Getting ready for the 4th of JULY or some other holiday (country depends).
6. ME I'm waiting for China Wholesale to start selling single copies, instead of selling LOTS of 10 for 12.00 USD ea.

Very good points mentioned there, wouldn't say its over priced though. Sure it could be lower but so could OS X Snow Leopard, I mean why $29.99 and not $19.99?

It's true there's been a slowdown, and it's probably due to 'no leaks' but you have to realise 1 thing.....

The more help that is given to people in the early stages who post here, the more others will have answers to their issues. Therefor less newcomers will need to post regarding certain problems because they have already been answered.

New project(2013)...Another low power server. Zotac H67ITX, i3-2100T, Windows Server 2012 Essentials on Samsung SSD.

I'm refering to the ASKing price for Win7 Ultimate upgrade disk or even the
199.98 for Pre-ording Vista Ultimate and get Win 7 FREE. Crap, when Win 7 is more like Vista should have been and Vista should be XP SP3.

Hey guys the economy here sucks. I'm retired on a fixed income. and my insurance went up hell every thing went UP. Even the Auto folks give better offers for returning customers. More like $100.00 for upgrade Win7 Ultimate with PROOF of purchase of Vista Ultimate.

It's not really slowed down ... take a look around the different topics on this forum and you'll notice that many people have problems and need help.

I think that's why most of us are here... help questions and/or answers! :geek:
