 Michael Jackson Dead at 50
Michael Jackson was beloved around the globe. Although we rarely comment on non-computer subjects we are stunned. Michael was larger than life and yes had human flaws like another King of Rock, Elvis. What cannot be disputed is that Michael Jackson left his imprint on music lovers around the world. Michael was beloved to billions around the world. The world has lost one of the most influential and talented pop artists ever. Peace Michael. .

 Farrah Fawcett, Dead At 62
Farrah Fawcett, died today after a long battle with cancer. She chronicled her struggle in a documentary which was recently aired on TV. Having watched that documentary, I can say Farrah was one he** of an incredibly courageous gal. My father died from Lymphoma at 58, and was equally as courageous. My mom is a two time breast cancer survivor. Unless it happens to you, it's hard to understand the inner strength you need to muster to battle the inner struggle and wake up and manage the expectations of those around you. Tonight, I can say that there is a lesson in the lives of both of these incredible individuals. Our sympathies with Ryan and Redmond and the entire Jackson family. Let us not judge but celebrate their lives. RIP... Howard Sobel

If you want to continue using Windows 7 you need to download and install the Release Candidate soon.

If you are running the previous beta version of Windows 7 you will need to do a clean install. If you are using Vista you can upgrade directly, If you are currently using XP you’ll have to do a clean install. Backup your data, install Windows 7 and reinstall all your existing applications.

Yes, if you plan to create a dual boost system so that you can test and become familiar with Microsoft’s new OS.
