Mission Statement
WindowsBBS is an online community dedicated to easily accessible technical support for those using Microsoft operating systems and other Windows software.
Our goal is to become the leading resource for computer users that require assistance with their day-to-day computer usage, including full support for networking PC's, virus & malware removal, system upgrades and general support questions.
In a move aimed at keeping sales of PCs moving while users wait for Windows 7, Microsoft is about to begin a sales promotion that lets people who buy PCs pre-installed with Windows Vista — between June 26 and October 22 when Windows 7 ships — to get a free or discounted upgrade to Windows 7 when it ships in late October.
Don't grab the credit card and head for the local computer store just yet, though. That deal doesn't kick in for another ten days.
Microsoft's "Tech Guarantee" program is officially named the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program (UOP), and it's optional for PC OEMs and retailers to participate in.
