Windows 7

[SuRgEoN]

Curious how many people are on the d/l today and how the speed is. My education email said it could be had today. Anyone?

 

[theflyingpig]

It could be had months ago. Get a better email. Everyone knows this.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Do what I did - get your legit key and download from a torrent. Great speed, no issues

I've been running Win7 RTM for a couple months now. Where have you been?

Today I'll be downloading Visual Studio 10 Beta 2 when I get home though.

Well do not be a prick about it.


The RC was available a couple of months but I when I need it I will not buy one as Newegg has the OEM pretty cheap.

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Yeah. I've been running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit courtesy of Microsoft's Launch Party for 3 weeks now. Been great stuff.

 

[Gunslinger08]

We've had it for a while at work. I think a couple of the guys are running it. I'm running Server 2008 R2 on my laptop.

 

[SuRgEoN]

I realize it was available awhile ago... I have just not had the time to take advantage and received the email today so I was just curious. Thanks for the input.

I use software that doesn't even exist yet and I got it in the past that hasn't even passed yet!

My Action Pack subscription had it available at the beginning of September. Been running it for over a month.

I love it on my desktop, but the lack of HP drivers causes lockups on my laptop. I found the device causing the issue (the 5:1 media reader) and disabled it. Otherwise, I'm liking what I see.

I'm awaiting for the email that HP shipped my copy (free upgrade)

 

[destrekor]

waiting for a good deal on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
I have Vista Ultimate 64 from the Ultimate Steal student offer. Too fresh of an install, with too much customization and a lot of programs installed... do NOT want to start over with a clean install at the moment. I just want Win7. And because of those two wants, I am limited to Win7 Ultimate 64.
le sigh

ive read on the internet that you can change the registry to trick your version of windows to downgrade (ult to pro, etc). that is what I am planning on doing. Running RC and am getting RTM pro

My school has had Windows 7 Enterprise online for over a week but I just got around to downloading it today. Will install within the next week

 

[coldmeat]

I'm waiting for tomorrow to see if the student deal will actually open up to Canadian students or not.

My edu copy still not available. Did other edu customers download it already?

It must suck to have the whole domain go down when you close the lid on your laptop.

 

[thescreensavers]

I had it a month ago and for free... from MSDAA or what ever that is.

 

[ChaoZ]

I'm so dreading having to do a clean install again.

 

[tboo]

My disk should ship tomorrow.

 

[TheVrolok]

Waiting on BB to ship my disk. Hopefully ships tomorrow.
