Microsoft Vista for $1,632 Only

consumerist.com writes about a customer who got charged for his Windows Vista Upgrade for $1,632!

Apparently, Bill, an IT Manager, used the Windows Live Marketplace to purchase the Windows Vista Ultimate upgrade worth $233.15. But each time he tried to enter his payment information, he got the error “please try again” later. And so he did. Unluckily, Bill got charged each time he tried to enter the payment details, which he did 7 times!

Again, that is $233.15 * 7 = $1,632.05. Totally a rip-off!

Bill tried to contact Microsoft support again and again and again to get his money back but only four of the transactions were returned. The remaining three transactions are yet to be refunded.

Ballmer scrambles for cover as he dodges the eggs, and luckily, he still has a clean face when stood up from behind the podium. read more

The preview shows some of the new and improved features of Windows like the Explorer. Personally, I am curious about the blog/website designer since I am a blogger myself. Though the features are pretty at this point, expect Windows 7 to be more hardware resource hungry than Vista. read more
