With the world economy just beginning to recover from the worst downturn since the 1929 depression, Microsoft’s release of Windows 7 has dealt a crippling blow to its nascent recovery.
Nations were caught unaware as millions of buyers of this latest upgrade of Microsoft’s operating system took days at their offices and homes to struggle with the installation of Windows 7 onto their computers, thereby causing a major disruption of large segments of the economy, including the restaurant, film, theater and travel industries as people cancelled plans because they were drawn away to resolve all of the issues which have arisen with this operating system upgrade.
“I thought it would take an hour, maybe two, to get this up and running, but I’m into my second day of this and still haven’t gotten all of the kinks out of it,” said Robert Morrison, a New York lawyer. “So I had to cancel dinner reservations at Per Se because I was still stuck in the office with this thing.”
The same story is being repeated in city after city all over the world. Restaurant attendance has dropped by as much as 30% in some areas, and traffic for both local and international flights have seen a significant downturn.
There was no word as to whether Microsoft had instituted a rumored “cash for clunkers” rebate for the much maligned Vista operating system which preceded Windows 7.
Stumble It!
Not far from the truth I think. From what I've read you need to back up everything (files and fotos) and re-install all software. A boon to the tech support industry ... but at least maybe we are beyond Vista

Nice tongue in cheek, but nobody with a trace of a brain would install it for at least a year unless they like beta adventures.
