Krellion’s Geek Journal – 6/26/2009
Welcome to this week’s post of my Geek Journal!
Sorry that I skipped last week’s entry; I was busy working at Anime Mid-Atlantic. ^^
If you’ve been keeping up with the news lately, you’ve heard that several big celebrities have passed away this week: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson. I’m not going to say much except that they will all be missed in their own way and that out of the three, Jackson’s death was the most unexpected to me.
Not much in the way of geeky movies last week, but we’re good to go this week: The second Transformers film was released this past Wednesday. Reviews have been mixed from what I’ve heard, but a friend and co-worker who has already seen it said that he really enjoyed it and thinks that it’s better than the first one. I’ll have to wait on my own judgment until I see it tomorrow.
Windows 7 is still working quite well for me on both my main system and my laptop. Microsoft recently announced the upgrade and full version pricing, so now I have an idea on what it’s going to cost me to switch permanently to Win7. With the ability to do an in-place upgrade to a different version of Win7 being made easy (Home Premium -> Pro -> Ultimate, just buy a new product key, no need to do a new install), I’m thinking of going with the full version of Home Premium to start, then upgrading as needed; however, this is dependent on what the pricing will be to do said upgrade(s). If it costs more than the difference between the versions’ normal prices to do an upgrade, I’m sure Microsoft will get a lot of flack for that. If they’re smart, the in-place upgrades will be cheaper.
This concludes this week’s post, thanks for reading!
