To start off, it is only a beta, so it is for a limited amount of time, and its stable, but it still may crash, so dont use this on your work computer.
You will need (or better)
- 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
- 1 GB of system memory
- 16 GB of available disk space
- Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme)
- DVD-R/W Drive
- Internet access (to download the Beta and get updates)
- From what I have heard, you will need to start with Vista
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx
Overall, you should definately consider it for use temporarily as it has some really cool features and runs signifigantly faster.
You may find the lack of support disturbing.
I intend on shorting the s&p 500 first thing this morning, I dont think the market will be up above 9000 anytime soon, I think its being propped up by some buy the rumor sell the news AND ITS NEWSDAY.
The market has been opening lower and steadily gaining throught the day, I believe Today we will see this pattern reversed.
Blackrock’s CEO says people are still redeeming, and there are some that are trying to hang in there, and nobody is putting money in. Which means this rally is fake.
We are in “a bottoming process” and as such, you need to watch out for the light at the end of the tunnel as it might be a freight train.
Take your gains if your long, after all, you might have gained alot.

Rambus inc is a company that will die before it recieves any cash from judgments.
“U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte ruled Tuesday that several major chip companies violated certain elements of computer memory patents held by Rambus. Whyte denied a request for summary judgment on other elements of the patent dispute, which is set for trial on Jan. 22.
But Capstone Investments analyst Jeff Schreiner said the decision bodes well for Rambus in a suit that could lead to significant royalties for the company.
In an interview, Schreiner said “obviously this is not a ’show me the money’ type ruling.” But he said by stripping out some of the more technical aspects of the case, the decision makes the rest of the company’s argument easier to put to a jury.
Schreiner estimates the companies involved in the suit represented about 60 percent of 2007 sales for the dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips Rambus is suing over.
They include South Korea-based Samsung Electronics Co. and Hynix Semiconductor, Boise, Taiwan-based Nanya Technology Corp. and Idaho-based Inc., Micron Technology Inc.” ~ap
If you have ever tried to sue a fortune 500 company, you will realize, that even if they are wrong, and everyone around them knows that they are wrong, incuding them, they will still tie you up in court for 30 years, using the money that they could have paid you to fund their lawers, and starve you of legal fees.
So when i see a company jump 100% on a PRETRIAL ruling, I think “where is the best place to short”
I found it Today, Just the right pattern for weakeness, and I intend to hold on to this one till its down to at least 10, possibly 9.
I am expecting a snapback rally sometime this week, I believe that as we are at-near closing lows, this may be the best chance you could ever get to go long the market.
I would like to caution that this is a very long term play (years) and also a very short term play (days).
The only ways to be able to get guarenteed returns in this market is to buy United states guarenteed goverment guarenteed securities).
More to come at closing bell, im just informing you all that this may be the time.
EDIT: I am cheering this stock up today, even though i am short, as when we get a 10% rally tommrow, the stock will go down to the 90s
Dont worry, Im not just gonna keep my hate located on the s&p 500, of all of the indexes, the nasdaq seems to be behaving the most bearish, as such I am recomennding UltraShort QQQ ProShares (QID).
It is important to make sure that you dont through all of your bags on to one new york city bums shopping cart.
That strand of geinus being said, although it might have better been left unsaid, the market could go anywhere right now, probably down, but it is my wholeharted opinion that by friday we will have an intense fear based sell off (probably on the gdp #s)
TooLongDidntRead: long QID
