No one knows for sure. Those in the Insider Preview program get it first followed by everyone else getting it in staggered release waves. Might take a few more days to get it.
Just did a clean install of Win7 64 bit and got a low memory error when running Windows Update. This was on a basic office machine with 4gb of ram. WU was downloading about 750mb of updates all at once, but that was still the first time I have ever seen that error while updating.
No doubt. My first laptop was a Gateway with 512mb ram and Vista. I promptly located drivers for XP and proceeded to "downgrade." I eventually bought 2 gigs of ram and put Vista back on.
Nothing wrong with Vista that a couple of service packs and a few gigs of memory couldn't fix. I just got gifted an old Dell 540s Slim Studio with a bad power supply. The original Vista install was badly corrupted, and I couldn't even access the recovery partition. I had an old Vista Home Basic...

It doesn't matter to me whether you buy it or not. I was simply curious which games you have been having problems with, as I am not seeing any micro-stuttering at all in any games or videos that I have tried. And my DPC latency stays pegged at 1000. Seems like a non-issue to me, but I'll admit...
I have played several older games without issue on my secondary machine that was running the Consumer Preview (now the Release Preview). My latency stays pegged at the 1000 mark. What games are giving you trouble?
I am buying the upgrade for my secondary desktop for the same reason: it's...
We don't really know yet. I'm betting that the double-install trick or registry hack might still work, but there's no way to tell until we get our hands on a retail iso.
