Almost everyone has a cell phone these days and more often than not cell phone bills are the biggest expense for any family. Before you can slash your cell phone costs, you must know what you are paying for every month. You can start to examine your last bill, but let me give you a heads up that it is no easy task. My last bill had 40 plus pages and required a translator.

Simply log into your account and check how many minutes you (and each of your family members) have used for that month. I found out that my family was regularly using 500 to 600 minutes per month which was far less than the 1400 minutes we were paying for monthly.

It has been said that Microsoft plans to release six different versions of Windows 7. This has left many tech people wondering why Microsoft would want to subject customers to such a confusing product matrix. Mircrosoft says that it will steer most users towards Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional. For business users, it is recommended that they opt for either Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise.

When you purchase Windows 7, you will have all versions in the disc. You will be able to unlock all the various versions using a special unlock code. Each version will be a superset of the previous version, so you will not lose any features whe you upgrade.
