This game is scheduled to launch on November 10 which is estimated to make over $338 million in it’s first day of sale. The graphics for this version are said to be more realistic than the current version under Call of Duty 4. I’m sure that video card sales for the new one gig PCI-E and higher will be selling around the same time. It’s been said that Newegg and other companies will be lowering their price around the same time to get some of the video card sale for gamers preparing for the new CoD game.

Best Buy will start preselling upgrade versions of Windows 7 Home Premium for $49 and Windows 7 Professional for $99 via its Web site for only 16 days starting on June 26. It’s not totally clear whether those are standard or promotional prices. Microsoft Senior Vice President Bill Veghte did say in an interview this week that the software maker was considering requests from Vista owners to have a free or cheaper way to upgrade to Windows 7, so perhaps this pre-order option might be that program. My personal opinion is that Windows 7 is going to be a very good operating system. I’ve done beta testing and also testing on the first release and it looks to be a very stable and fast operating system. Compared to the Windows Vista disaster it should be a lot faster with less resources being used. I although won’t be upgrading from Windows XP anytime soon. I’ll continue to play with Windows 7 in VMWare workstation.

Passed my HP Master PC Technician certification test this past Friday which was a pretty hard test. Now onto the HP Master TV Technician certification and then Samsung Technician certification. Hopefully I’ll have the TV cert within the next week or so. Hopefully it won’t be as hard as the PC one. I hate trying to remember all the uses of HP PC-Doctor.

According to reports, it looks like Windows 7 will be released October 23, 2009. That’s a few months earlier than Microsoft had publicly committed to, and could mean extra sales for the holiday season. Dell is hoping that this happens as it will probably help their sales that have been hurting the last quarter because of the economy. I’m curious to see if the anti-piracy steps Microsoft is taking will be fixed as the trial version Microsoft released can be turned into a full version. It really doesn’t benefit you that much since it’s only a beta version of Windows 7 and isn’t a complete copy so you will have the bugs still. Microsoft better get on the ball trying to fix the activation crack for Windows 7 before launch day otherwise Bill Gates will be short a yacht or two.

I just installed FeedDemon, which if you read RSS feeds I would recommend you install.  It has to be one of the easiest RSS feed readers for any level of computer knowledge. I try to make it simple as I have a few hundred applications install on my computer. I although don’t have time to go to all the websites that I want to be updated from so this application is perfect for me. I just wish that they made this for the Blackberry. Google’s RSS reader for the Blackberry is very difficult to work with at time. And if you’re like me I’m usually staring at some type of screen for more than half a day everyday.
