Got my present early. A new laptop. Now I just have to figure out Windows 7.

I love Windows 7! Clean and easy. Too bad you will need to reintroduce the necessary passwords.
This thing is 8GB and 1TB. And it is fast. Of course the other was a 2GB, I think 2006 with Vista.
I had all sorts of trouble with Windows Live email which came of my puter which has Windows 7. It wouldn't forward pictures to other people. Went back to Outlook. No more troubles

Yeah I didn't like windows live, went back to outlook myself
My wife decided to buy me one now, because Windows 8 comes out before long. A guy who beta tested it says that it is awful.
At the recommendation of many computer Gurus, I switched to Google Chrome and I'm really happy with it.
I got it but am to lazy to add all my contacts and favs to it. Is there an easy way?
I was digging around my amazon account and found out someone orderd me this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004O7FX20/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
Now all I need is the stand and the dust bag and the zero clearance insert. If anyone wants to chip in feel free.

I'm sure there is an easy way to transfer but I just copied all my favorites and transferred them individually.

Click on the wrench - Settings - import bookmarks.
How do you write that gift off?

Just copy/paste the links in an email to yourself. Then you'll always have em.

Google chrome is the fastest browser out there and rated way better then IE explorer. I seem to notice a big difference between the 2.
My wife and son like chrome, I just don't care for it. I like IE and also use Firefox, because of yahoo news. I am a news junkie.
I have used Firefox for a long time and it has worked for me better than IE Explorer.
Lately tho, Firefox has been hounding me to refresh my plugins.
A box across the top of the screen tells me
"some plugins used by this page are out of date"
I try to refesh them, but firefox fails to complete the update process no matter how many times that I click and restart the refresh process. So I end up with the update request box at the top of my screen on many of the sites I visit....... it won't go away, and I can't update the plugins.
I have Firefox 12.0 and haven't updated the latest release.
My newest issue is plugin container.exe I virtually stops pages from loading until I go to task manager and stop them from running. Frustrating, and I have done the suggested fixes to stop plugin container from loading............ it still does. arghhh!

That's Bull.
If you have a good antivirus, and firewall you'll be as safe as you can .
These new versions just want to collect more tracking info on you .

I went ahead and downloaded the latest version last night. Computer seems to be working/behaving better. Not for sure yet, because anything new might create a psychological feeling that it is better simply because it's new.
...until a wheel falls off going around a corner.
Still get the add on warnings at the top of some pages tho........ and it still fails to update them when I try.
