Why pay more?

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders

Pros: Windows 7 works great. Make sure you buy the 64 bit version if you ever want to see more than 4G of RAM. $99 is not cheap, but better than $179.99 for the retail version. Buy OEM, not the retail version. Unless you feel you have too much money.

Cons: I wish it was less expensive.

Overall Review: I wish it allowed you to backup to another hard-drive on your network and allowed for remote desktop, but those are not features of Home Premium.

Works great with WMC

AVerMedia H826-AK AVerTV Hybrid Volar Max - TV Tuner Kit for Windows

Pros: The setup when perfectly! I'm running Windows 7 64bit Home Premium. My dad bought me this for Christmas 2013 (I'm his son writing this) and I must say this is a great gift. Despite what Newegg says, this does have a FM tuner. HD channels are very clear too.

Cons: The unit is a little finicky about signal quality so my antenna has to be high up. The biggest problem (and it's not that bad) is that the only program it runs with is Windows Media Center. I have laptop that runs Windows 7 Starter and I can't find any (free) programs that will receive TV on my laptop. But then the AVerMedia website does say that it only works with Windows Media Center.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to a friend!

Great helicopter

Pros: This thing is great. Very controllable. It does take practice to fly and especially land , but I think it can do anything but back-flips. On sale for $18.99 with free shipping... Great Deal!

Cons: None

Good reader.

Rosewill RCR-IC001 - 3.5" Internal 40-in-1 Card Reader with USB 2.0 Port & Extra Silver Face Plate

Pros: This things works fine and it was cheap. Would be nice to have more USB ports, but I was aware of this at time of purchase.

Cons: The SD card needs to be label down. It works fine, but just seems silly to build it this way. Maybe that is why it's cheap. I would buy another.

It works!

Works great.

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit

Pros: This software works just fine. I am a big fan of Vista, which nobody owned, but somehow everyone hated. W7 is a lot like it. I actually prefer the look of Vista, but this is fine.

Cons: I do worry about people saying if they have to replace parts like a HDD, that MS will not re-activate this software. I hope that is not the case. If I own a copy I should be able to use it.
