Re: [WIN7] Windows 7 upgrade last day. Should I upgrade? I ordered from Amazon and while I don't know if Amazon will let me cancel my order, their price guarantee will give me the lower price (if Microsoft comes out with a better deal) before my upgrades ships. |

I am sure Amazon will let you cancel before shipment, but their 30 day price guarantee was discontinued on September 1, 2008.

That is great, and I am happy since I too pre-ordered a couple of copies at Amazon (which I will be selling on Ebay next year to help cover the cost of a TechNet subscription). But as Howie alluded to, it's like saying if it snows in Miami Florida on the 4th of July, you get it for half price.
From what I have seen, Win 7 is like XP on steroids. Nearly everyone who has evaluated it gives it four stars, and most were "drooling" over the Betas that seemed rock solid. I also of the opinion that Microsoft believes it has made a pretty good operating system, addressed what bugged Vista users and is giving everyone a chance to get onboard for a reasonable cost.
Too, I am betting that MS will drop support for XP as soon as possible, and while I am sure many XP users will say they don't care, it's too risky for most people to have a systems subject to exploits by hackers.

Amazon did away with their price matching guarantee a couple months ago. Just letting you know so you don't count on it in the future.
The only price protection they offer now is if you pre-order an item and Amazon lowers their own price before they're able to ship it. Then, you get the lower price.
