[AT] So, How do you Like Windows 7? (Off topic computer question)

[Bob McNitt]

Paul -

I think that's the case ... Microsoft and others must believe "everyone" 
has access to hi-speed ISP service and are operating equally fast 
processor chips, so the downloads are huge, compared to what they use to 
be. I must admit tho that Win 7 is a huge improvement over previous OSs 
in the Windows line, but you really can't do justice to it running it on 
an older PC or using dial-up.
