Do you have a knack for marketing and selling but, very little in the way of available capital to set up your own online store? Would you like to work at home but, dot have a product to sell or service to offer? A turnkey website could be the work at home  solution you are looking for.

The fact that most come with a payment system and many of the tools one needs to sell online already included saves a lot of money on web designers and other Internet “experts”.

Today marked the launch of Windows 7, the operating system that many hope will be a distinct improvement over the much maligned Windows Vista OS, which annoyed some users so much they elected to stick with, or even downgrade to Windows XP. Which, at eight years old is a “software dinosaur”. But is it really worth the small business owner taking a chance (and $100+ out of their budget) to upgrade to Windows 7?
