City Taxes Going Higher

For those of you interested in technology Window 7 is a step closer to being released to the public. Windows 7 RC came out to the general public. I have been running the beta for a short time and have switched to the RC (Release Candidate) last week. -IT people could get it sooner.

Windows 7 is a nimble OS compared to Vista, it’s very fast and will be well worth the wait for those that did not go to Vista. There where many complaints about Vista and I would agree at the beginning it was a little problematic due to in part a lack of up to date drivers, but in the end Vista was a good OS.

Many people are saying that Windows 7 is actually Vista SP2 (although Vista SP2 comes out very soon) this new OS has the Vista under pinning's but has been very much reworked and you will see a nice fresh look with.

So when Windows 7 comes out later this year, those of you who are still on XP may want to consider and upgrade, assuming your hardware will run it.
