Jumpstart Your Music Library with TuneUp

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

TuneUp MediaIf you have ever managed your own digital music collection, you know what a time-consuming, frustrating process it ends up being.  It seems simple enough.  You put the music in and the program applies the right titles, album covers, etc.  HA!  That is where the dream ends and reality begins.  Anyone who has been down this yellow brick road knows that something is lurking behind the curtain and you are in for a serious wake up call.

It takes a special type of person to be truly excited about the release of a new/updated operating system, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of us you should be sitting idly by while Windows 7 hits the streets.  The folks over at Microsoft have been working extremely hard to bring you a product that will make up for its last effort (Vista) and they have already begun “persuading” some of us to make a very easy decision (see our blog post Windows 7 for $30 or FREE – do you qualify?).  If you haven’t spent some time contemplating an upgrade to Windows 7, it’s time to put your thinking caps on.

Windows 7 for $29.99

Windows 7 for $29.99

Windows 7 is coming, like it or not.  Many are turning their nose up at the next “amazing, cutting edge, fix all your problems” version of Windows.  They like their Windows XP and that’s that… or is it.  Recent blog posts and interviews with Microsoft officials make it sound as if you may not have a choice.  Windows XP is still available to purchase, but once they pull the plug they might not continue to support it with patches and security updates.  This could leave you stuck.

So what are your options?  We’ll explain how many of you can get the newest version of Windows for $29.99 or FREE, when it is released on October 22nd, 2009.  Even if you don’t plan on updating, you might want to read on and get the details, for a friend or family member.
