JessicaLeigh Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 C'mon now... 656 fixes? Are there even that many applications and DLLs in the Windows directory to begin with?OH! I know! It updates Vista SP1 and turns it into Windows 7 RC2, right?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackblast Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Questioning myself if that wouldn't be better... :coolwink:Of course It should.Now why would a company use resources on patching an imperfect OS while they have a prefectly good one on its way is beyond my comprehension.Offer a cheap or free update to Win7 to legit Vista users and call it a bad dream.WinME.... how do i miss you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
