Windows 7 Cost Or Price

Windows 7 Picture 6The cost or price of Windows 7 isn’t fixed. It actually depends on where you are buying from, the version of Windows 7, and the type of Windows 7. Now let me explain why the price or cost of Windows 7 depends on these factors further to you below.

Where you are buying from: It depends on where you are buying from because not all stores be it online or offline will offer the same prices for Windows 7 and so the price will differ from place to place and the location of where you are buying from will thus affect the pricing of your Windows 7 copy.

 

The Edition of Windows 7: The edition of Windows 7 that you are buying also affects the pricing of the copy of Windows 7 that you will be buying because the price of every different edition of Windows 7 will definitely differ from one another but the difference won’t be all that big and they will all be in the same price range.

 

The Version of Windows 7: The version of Windows 7 that you are buying also affects the pricing of the copy of Windows 7 that you will buy or be buying. But first of all when I say the version of Windows 7 what do I mean? When I say the version of Windows 7 I mean whether you are buying an upgrade version of Windows 7 or full version of Windows 7. So the version of Windows 7 that you are buying be it an upgrade version or a full version will also affect the pricing of the copy of Windows 7 that you will buy or be buying because an upgrade version of Windows 7 will have a different price and a full version of Windows 7 will also have a different price.

 

So when you ask the price of the Windows 7 one can’t give you one fixed price as the price of Windows 7 because it mostly depends on these factors that I have talked about above.

 

But I will list below the price of Windows 7 in the US as announced by Microsoft on the Windows 7 Team blog.

Price of Windows 7 In The US As Announced By Microsoft

Windows 7 Full Version Price or Cost

  • Windows 7 Home Premium (Full): $199.99

Interesting Tech Picture: If Websites Were People

If Websites Were PeopleI find this picture very interesting because I like how the human characters are matched with these big websites on the web. For me I think the human characters are perfectly matched to their respective websites especially the human character which is matched with Facebook.

What do you think about this picture? Do you think these websites really match the human characters as they have been portrayed? Which website and its human character matched each other well most? Please share your thoughts with us by commenting below. Thanks :).

Poll: Will You Get A Copy Of Windows 7?

Windows 7 Picture 6 Windows 7 was officially launched and released to the public three days ago and the excitement about it from the public has so far been high. So I was wondering people are going to get a copy of Windows 7, or if some are going to stick to their Windows Vistas and their Windows XPs, or perhaps some who downloaded the Windows 7 RC are going to stick their Windows 7 RC till it expires next year in 2010, and as a result of this I have decided to conduct a poll and see if the majority of people are going to get Windows 7, stick with their Windows Vistas or Windows XPs, stick with their Windows 7 RCs till their expirations or whatever that they are going to do about the getting of a copy of Windows 7.

 

So will you get a copy of Windows 7? Please share your answer with us by voting below. Thanks :).

Windows 7 Has Been Officially Released Today

Windows 7 Picture 6 Uh……wasn’t it just yesterday that the Windows 7 Beta was released to the public? Oh, it’s been months now? Wow, I can’t believe it’s been months now since the Windows 7 Beta was released to the public and now today is the day that the full version of Windows 7 has been officially launched and released.


It’s an awesome and exciting feeling for me and I know that it is for many others too because it’s been kind of a long and exciting wait and I just can’t imagine and believe how far we’ve come in the Windows 7 development and release journey and now we are finally at the end of this journey. A journey which included not knowing when Windows 7 was going to be released and expecting the release date’s official announcement from Microsoft, knowing the official release date of Windows 7 but can’t wait for that day to come, and making friends who had the same interest of Windows 7 as you do both online and offline. I think it’s been an exciting, fun-filled, awesome, benefiting, and experienced filled journey.


But if this journey has ended, the excitement and adventure is not yet over because another new journey is beginning today. And what’s this new journey that I’m saying is beginning today? It’s the journey of discovering what Windows 7 entails or includes, trying and getting to know new features in Windows 7, not knowing how to do some things on Windows 7 and finding them out later yourself true trial and error or finding them out by searching on the web or asking people. So for me it’s going to be a whole new exciting journey :).


Are you excited about the official release of Windows 7? What do you think about Windows 7? Please share it with us.

A Monthly Recap Feature Will Now Be Included In Shirley’s Tech Zone

I have decided to add a monthly recap feature to this blog (Shirley’s Tech Zone).

By the way, what do I mean by a monthly recap? By a monthly recap, I mean after a month goes to an end I will summarize and list all the posts and articles that were published here that particular month.

Why did I decide to include a monthly recap feature in Shirley’s Tech Zone? I decided to include a monthly recap feature into Shirley’s Tech Zone because I have realized that not all the readers of Shirley’s Tech Zone are able to come to Shirley’s Tech Zone and read every post or article that is published, so some of the readers might have missed a post or article or two and I don’t want any of my readers (which includes you :) ) to miss any of my posts or articles because I know you value my posts and articles and you wouldn’t want to miss any, so that is why I decided to include the monthly recap feature in Shirley’s Tech Zone.

But RSS is there to send your posts updates to your readers, so they won’t miss any of your posts or articles or you can even use a newsletter for this, why not use one of these instead of the monthly recap feature? Well good question. RSS (most often translated as “Really Simple Syndication” but sometimes translated as “Rich Site Summary”) sure is there to send my blog posts and articles updates to my readers, so they won’t miss any of my posts or articles but not everyone subscribes to RSS or likes to receive updates via RSS so I have to create another way for my readers who don’t like or use RSS to get all my posts and articles and not miss any of them. Now talking about RSS if you like RSS or use RSS to subscribe to the updates of the blogs and websites that you like, then you can subscribe to Shirley’s Tech Zone feed updates and receive my new posts and articles anytime they are published. Also regarding the use of a newsletter, Shirley’s Tech Zone has a weekly newsletter which was launched a week or so ago, even though the weekly newsletter includes a week wrap up or recap of Shirley’s Tech Zone posts and articles just like the situation with the RSS, not everybody likes to receive newsletters or many newsletters in their email inbox so the monthly recap feature will serve as another way for those who don’t like to receive newsletters or many newsletters in their email inbox to not miss any of the posts and articles that are published on Shirley’s Tech Zone. Talking about newsletters, if you like to receive newsletters in your email inbox then join Shirley’s Tech Zone mailing list and receive Shirley’s Tech Zone Weekly Newsletter in your email inbox every week. You can find the mailing list form on the right sidebar of this blog.

Get Loads and Loads of Free Twitter Logos from TwitterLogos.com

Twitter You might be a website owner, blog owner, webmaster, or a manager of a blog and you might be wanting a twitter logo, button, or icon for your website or blog for your users or readers to know that you are on twitter and they can follow you there or should follow you there but you just can’t find a place where you can get tonnes of free twitter logos, buttons, or icons to choose from and make your choice or you have found several twitter logos, buttons, or icons online, some which are free and others which are not but they just don’t have the beauty and touch that you want for your website. Well, relax now and be happy because I have found a great resource online which has a huge collection of free twitter logos, buttons, icons and more.

This great resource I found online is a website called Twitterlogos.com. Twitterlogos.com contains a huge collection of free Twitter logos, Twitter buttons, Twitter icons and more. The Twitter logos, buttons, icons and more are not created by Twitterlogos.com but they are rather submitted by designers. Some of the designers also provide custom designs of the Twitter logos, buttons, and icons so if you want a custom Twitter logo, button, or icon created for you you will need to contact the designers directly and not Twitterlogos because Twitterlogos are not the creators of any of the Twitter logos, buttons, and icons on the Twitterlogos.com website.

So if you want to get a Twitter logo, button, or icon for your website or blog, go to the Twitterlogos.com website and search for the Twitter logo, button, or icon of your choice.

Please note: To get or search for a Twitter logo, button, or icon from Twitterlogos.com does not require any registration or signing up on the side of Twitterlogos.com and also Twitterlogos.com is not affiliated with Twitter.
