Yeah, I feel the same. I had Vista at work for quite a bit, which pressed me to skip it at home – and after trying the Windows 7 release candidate at home, I convinced my boss that having Windows 7 at work is a good thing as well :p

Sorry about removing your link, and the link you posted in that other comment as Jessica Bailey. While the comments clearly are not technically spam, I see links with comments as a way to promote a personal site of the commenter, and not some third-party site with a purely commercial interest and not much connection to the poster.

I’m pretty much impressed with the stability of Windows 7. It is better than windows Vista which hogs my memory and cpu.:*;

Man I had the same problem with the quasi-spam and came to the same conclusion as you – remove the links. Sometimes they trick you because they just take a quote from your article and you think “hey that’s a good point” – yeah because you wrote it initially! Hah hah.

I reckon comments that show intelligence and actually say something about your article can have a link, anything else gets deleted or links removed. There’s something satisfying about just removing the links but leaving the comments… hard to put my finger on it but I guess you know the feeling.

Aye, same here, I skipped Windows Vista on my gaming PC.

I took the liberty to remove the link that would have made your comment spam (and would consequently have made me delete it), I hope you are happy with that just like me as well.

Thanks a lot for asking, but I don’t think I have the time for that

Good luck with your publication anyway! Looks neat, judging by what I saw in my short glance at it.

Would you be interested in writing for The Neave Online Publication? I love your writing style and I feel like you would fit in perfectly with the other writers.

You guys make it really hard to decide whether you’re spamming or commenting in the more traditional sense…

And you are the reason why I removed my DoFollow plugin. So links are nofollow in this blog just like any other now. Maybe that’ll stop the tide.

Maybe I should have a commenting policy of “every comment that uses anything but a real name as ‘name’ will be deleted”?

the interface of Windows 7 is great but in my opinion Windows XP is still a very solid and stable operating system. Right now, I would never give up XP for Windows 7.
