Q. We are replacing eight windows in our house with double hung windows, is $4800 a good price or do you think we might be paying too much? This price includes installation and the windows, and the windows have a lifetime guarantee.
I am also wondering our window person said once we order the windows it will take approx. three to four weeks for them to come in and then they will install, does that sound right?

A. I think if they are custom windows and it includes taking your old ones out and disposing of them and installing the new ones...it sounds like you are getting a good price. If buying them standard sizes, then it may be a bit high. Make sure that the windows are vinyl and low E this means that the sunlight won't fade your carpets and fabrics on couches etc. Check out Home Depot, or Lowes, we got a very good deal when we purchased ours last year.

What will be the price of Windows 8 Pro?
Q. As the date to W8 approaches, more details are arising. One detail that I haven't really been clarified on is the price of Windows 8 Pro. I'm talking about the single-user licensed, complete install disc that is shrink-wrapped and put into a pretty case :P
If there hasn't been a price released, what do you think it'll be?
I don't want to buy Windows 7 though :3 :P

You sell storm windows and doors. You receive a straight commission of 8 percent of the selling price of each?
Q. You sell storm windows and doors. You receive a straight commission of 8 percent of the selling price of each storm window and 12 percent of the selling price of each door. What total commission will you receive for selling storm windows worth 5,400 and doors worth 790?
A. Do you honestly not know how to calculate a percent? Just do like you learned in fourth grade: TURN THE PERCENT TO A DECIMAL AND MULTIPLY.
8 percent of x is x times 0.08.
12 percent of x is x times 0.12.
8 percent of x is x times 0.08.
12 percent of x is x times 0.12.
will there be a windows 7 price drop, when windows 8 comes out?
Q. I know sometimes when a new product comes out, the previous model will get a price cut, but I'm not sure if the same is true of operating system software. I want to upgrade my computer to a 64 bit version of windows 7, but I'm wondering if it's worth waiting around until windows 8 comes out.
A. Actually, the price will increase because they will stop making Windows 7 thus any unsold copies will become rare.
Are you already using Windows 7? If so then you can upgrade to the 64-bit version for free. Just download a 64-bit ISO of Windows 7, burn it to a DVD, and boot your computer from the disc. Make sure to backup all the stuff you want to save. You'll have to do a clean install of the OS to upgrade 7 to the 64-bit version and that will delete all of the files you don't backup.
If you don't have Windows 7 already then that's a different story. A lot of folks don't like new start screen in Windows 8. Many don't like the Metro interface much, either. Would be unfortunate if you installed 8 and didn't like it.
I suggest running the Windows 8 consumer preview in a virtual machine like VirtualBox. You can test drive the OS without actually changing your computer. Since it's in a virtual machine, the performance might not be great but at least you'd be able to see how things look in the new OS and kinda get a feel for it. If you're okay with the changes then waiting might be fine.
If you don't like the start screen or Metro interface then you can go ahead and get Windows 7 now before the price increase.
