Many happy customers where surprized in a good way when their shiny new windows 7 discs arrived through the post much earlier than expected.
Windows 7 is the much anticipated replacement for Windows Vista which was a complete flop due to its bloated, processor hungry, nagging features. Windows 7 seems to be a lot better, running on older hardware.
The proposed postage strike would have meant that its official release date would have coincided with the postage strike and so in a good public relations move, Microsoft allowed some retailers such as PC World and Amazon to release their copies early.
