windows-xp-to-windows-7-upgrade

Back in Feb 2009, I had warned about upgrading to Windows 7 from Windows XP. This was because, initially Microsoft had not explicitly mentioned about inability of "upgrading" Windows XP to Windows 7. Later, they released a statement saying Windows XP users need to do a clean install which would effectively mean all the data, settings, software installed would be lost during the process. Not to worry anymore! Just a few days after announcing Free Windows 7 RTM for all TechNet beta testers, another good news flowing in the form of ability to upgrade (or rather MIGRATE) from Windows XP to Windows 7.

Lot of great ideas in this world has failed miserably just because they were never sold in a proper manner.

There are three ways to attract traffic - Referrals, Direct Traffic and Search Engines. Of all these forms Search Engines is the best way to drive the traffic to...
