NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Taxes. They've become the most controversial issue in the debt ceiling talks.

Republicans say President Obama wants to enact "job killing" tax hikes "now." Obama says that's not so: He says his tax increases would be targeted so as not to hurt the economy and would not take effect until 2013.

"Nobody has talked about increasing taxes now, nobody has talked about ... increasing taxes next year," Obama said Monday at a press conference.

So what exactly has Obama said he wants?

First, he wants to get rid of some corporate tax breaks enjoyed by oil and gas companies as well as buyers of corporate jets. Together, those changes might generate close to $50 billion in revenue over 10 years. He also wants to restore some Bush-era tax rates for high-income households -- a move that could raise roughly $700 billion over a decade. The Bush tax cuts are set to expire at the end of 2012.

In other words, roughly $750 billion in revenue raisers out of what the president hopes will be a $4 trillion package or "grand bargain" even though it's looking more likely that a final package will be much smaller.

Commentary: Go big on debt ceiling

"Is the package that we're talking about exactly what I would want? No. I might want more revenues and fewer cuts to programs that benefit middle-class families ... My point is, is that I'm willing to move in their direction in order to get something done," Obama said.

The Republican counter to the suggestion that tax increases be included even as a minority portion of a debt-reduction package has been that it would be a "job killer."

"Tax hikes destroy jobs. And the last thing we should be doing right now, at a time of 9.2 percent unemployment, is enacting more government policies that will destroy jobs," House Speaker John Boehner said Monday.

While very high taxes can dissuade businesses from hiring or investing at least in the near term, it's not at all clear how much, if any, job killing would occur if the proposals Obama has acknowledged publicly were implemented.

For one thing, it's not known how many jobs business owners in the top two tax brackets actually create. The IRS collects information on businesses income but not on jobs. And some types of business income -- such as income from rental properties or investment partnerships -- may generate few if any jobs.

Finally, Obama said that he offered to work with Republicans on tax reform that lowered income tax rates in exchange for eliminating most tax breaks.

But he added one caveat: He would only get behind such reform "as long as that package was sufficiently progressive so that we weren't balancing the budget on the backs of middle-class families and working-class families and we weren't letting hedge fund managers and authors of best-selling books off the hook."

Windows 7 is the new Operating System developed by Microsoft that will eventually take over XP, and eventually Vista, bringing us back to one unilateral operating system for home and business alike. As mentioned in a previous article window 7is a powerful product by giving us all the stability of XP with all the glitz and glamour of Vista and then some, making it truly unique in its own rights. How it does this, is by simplifying tasks making it more user friendly in operation, and navigation, of system functions, Microsoft Office 2007 and also by making multi-tasking easier than it’s ever been before with a PC based operating system. Microsoft has had Windows 7 in the development stages of three years, which is longer than any operating system Microsoft has produce to date.

And through their research in the development stage the message was clear from the consumer and business world, to deliver a product that is user friendly, a product that is stable with little to no down time, and finally a product that is secure and safe from harm. With that as a focus Microsoft then stripped down the Vista platform to the bare bones and started reconstructing, this way it would be easier to stay compliant with hardware and software products already in use today, instead of starting from scratch. So if you have a computer that is running Vista or XP machines that can run vista, you will have no trouble what so ever transferring over to Windows 7. Even ran them both at the same time, Office 2007 download to see if I could get them to crash. Both programs have held their ground and continue to do so, as well as Windows 7 proving to me that the foundation and stability of the operating system is solid.

Microsoft has already conducted a prelaunch sale of Windows 7 that concluded July 11th both in the US and Canada that I was involved in, and Windows 7 will be in new computers and on store shelves October 22, 2009. Windows 7 will switch to XP mode by means of virtual recognition to run that program then back again to Win 7 for the rest of your programs. Now don’t take this wrong! Windows 7 runs the most finicky programs effortlessly and better than its previous counterpart. I myself have constantly run full AutoCAD and VectorWorks programs with Windows 7 and have had no trouble what so ever in running these programs. Now, MS Office 2007 do to the complexity of these two programs; this would have been the first to have issues.

Microsoft might have pulled Office 2007 from its online shop but retailers are still selling the suite.

Retailers can sell Office 2007 if the copies they purchased were bought before a US-court-mandated deadline of January 11, 2010, Microsoft told The Reg on Tuesday. Upgrade and full copies of Office 2007 were available from CDW and Amazon.

The clarification came as it seemed Microsoft had missed its own deadline for removing custom XML from Office 2007 that landed it in hot water with a court and patent holder i4i.

Gray Nolton, Office developer product management team leader, blogged last month that copies of Word 2007, an integral part of the Office 2007 suite, would no longer read the custom XML mark up contained within .DOCX, .DOCM or .XML files after January 10.

The US District Court of Eastern Texas had given Microsoft until January 11 to remove the offending code after it had found Microsoft violated i4i's patents for custom XML. The ruling, upheld on appeal, said Microsoft could not sell copies of Word 2007 after January 11 that include the custom XML code.

According to reports, Microsoft pulled most versions of Office 2007 from its online store to comply with the court's ruling. But by the afternoon of January 12, it was clear not all versions of Office 2007 had been updated, meaning Microsoft had missed its January-10 date.

Normally, Microsoft offers more than 34 versions of Word-related products through its site, but many were missing, including full and upgrade versions of Office 2007 Standard and the upgrade version of Office 2007 Ultimate. The full edition of Ultimate was available for purchase and download.

The unavailable editions of MS Office 2007 came with a message from Microsoft that read: "This product is currently unavailable while we update versions on our site. We expect it to be available soon."

A Microsoft spokesperson told The Reg: "We are working to restore the availability of all products on all download sites." ®

Do you know that the purchase of any genuine OEM MS Office 2007will only get a licensed or valid product key attached to an empty DVD case?

Then, where is the office professional 2007 plus DVD installation disk? Or, how do you install MS Office 2007 OEM edition with only an empty case and product key?

To be frank, this statement is somewhat de-motivating users from purchasing a genuine OEM MS Office 2007, especially to people who want to setup a new PC and software completely on his own.

Imagine that, not only you’ve to pay extra for shipping, but also waiting weeks of time for the delivery!

Why you’ve to suffer all those pains since you’ve paid hundred bucks for an genuine product? Isn’t it easier if Microsoft provides Microsoft Office 2007 Professional direct download links?

I think the answer is certainly Yes!

According to MDL’s Direct Download Links for MS Office 2007 Suites and Applications, you could directly download most of the genuine MS Office 2007 suites from Microsoft Download Centre, burn the setup file to DVD disk at your own pace, install and activate it with the genuine product key you’ve purchased.
