From: Carlos on 23 Jun 2010 12:30 Charlie, If we lose this NG I'll have to make up my mind among the Windows 7 forums at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 It'll be a hard decision because I don't think that I can dedicate my spare time to more than one. If I were forced to choose one right now it would be: "Hardware and Drivers". Other choices are: "Music and sound", "Install, Upgrade Activate" and "Programs". Guess I will also lose my "bronze" condition awarded in this NG. :( BTW, I've seen that Andre da Costa is already hanging around in the forums.

From: Dominic Payer on 23 Jun 2010 14:24 There are also Technet forums for Windows 7 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro. There are FAQ posted as stickies on the Technet forums, but not on the Answers forums.

From: Carlos on 23 Jun 2010 18:22 It's getting interesting. Two Spanish speaking countries (Argentina vs Mexico) will have to fight each other to decide which one will play against the winner of the upcoming Germany vs England. If it is against England we might even get our "Islas Malvinas" (aka Falkland Islands) back! :) (No hard feelings with all the cool British people in this NG, that is far beyond our nationalities).
