Walt Mossberg talks Windows XP -> Windows 7 Update

"It will be frustrating, tedious and labor-intensive.   In fact, the process will be so painful that, for many XP users, the easiest solution may be to buy a new PC preloaded with Windows 7[or Mac?], if they can afford such a purchase in these dire economic times. In fact, that’s the option Microsoft (MSFT) recommends for XP users. (Conveniently, this option also helps Microsoft’s partners that make PCs.)"

Many people ask why we post Mossberg videos. They are tailored toward novice computer users (probably not our demographic). However, he’s one of the smartest mainstream technology writers who was early to recognize the benefits of Apple’s products.  He’s also not afraid to cut through the BS PR speak of tech company CEOs.  He’s also right most of the time, even on his critiques of Apple.
