So, I accidentally rolled back to a 32-bit OS after about a year and a half, and man... what a total disaster. I honestly don't get why anyone even bothers making them anymore—like, seriously, why is software technology still lagging so far behind the hardware we're actually running?

Yeah, it's definitely a pirated copy.

Does Windows 7 come in an American English version? Also, does anyone happen to know the current price for an original license?

Hey everyone 👋,

Need some help here. Having a major headache with Windows 7... basically my mouse is totally dead. Tried different USB ports and even plugged it into the PS/2 port, but nothing. When it's on USB, there's zero light, but when I use the PS/2 port, the light comes on but it still won't move. This started right after I installed some software—the second the installation finished, the mouse just quit on me. It works perfectly fine on my old XP machine, but Windows 7 is just ignoring it

Think it could be a virus? Really don't want to have to wipe the whole drive

Thanks in advance

You can find it at Techtronic Industries, The Fillmore, or Vemil... pretty much any big-box retailer carries Windows 7, though they usually just stock the OEM version.

What exactly is an OEM version?

Quite the price tag! I guess I'll just stick with Windows XP for now—maybe we can reconsider once the pricing actually makes sense.

Well, look at that—so things are finally moving? I wish our local companies would wake up too. 🙂

skračiti za normalan smrtnik — with an OEM version, you rely on the seller for support because that license is intended for the hardware distributor. However, if you have the "retail" version, you have every right to call Microsoft US directly and give them hell when Outlook Express stops working on Windows 7. 😁

I don't really get what you mean about this trend hitting the States too?
I mean, we used to be able to just pick up Win XP pro retail right here, I actually have a copy sitting at my place 😕

It just seems pretty unlikely that anyone would actually find it worth it to shell out almost $333 more for the ultimate version compared to, say, the professional one.

It just seems highly unlikely that anyone would find it worth paying nearly $333 more for the Ultimate edition compared to, say, the Professional version.

We had plenty of XP retail options, but Windows 7 wasn't available for months... I remember people were absolutely losing it because they needed genuine Windows, and even bug and Intel (I follow them, anyway, can't speak for the rest) were complaining along with Microsoft US because there weren't any "real" versions of Windows 7 available to purchase.

Look—if you need an official license and you run a company with hundreds of computers, volume discounts solve everything. But if you're an individual looking to buy something? If there’s no stock, you aren't buying anything, especially since you can't use OEM licenses for hardware you already own.
