How fast are you downloading it at? If there are enough seeders, may as well stick with it. It downloaded pretty damn fast from MS though.

Just for future reference, 32-bit is not referred to as x32 but x86.

Windows Vista will get Direct X 11.

If someone could help, would appreciate!

I love Windows 7! It took some getting used to, but I'm liking all the new features and streamlines processes. I'm experiencing some hiccups every now and then, but it's still got a long way to go.

Best Buy Win7 memo leaks...

http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/best-buy-memo-explains-that-vista-doesnt-work-details-windows/

So my question is: In order to get the win7 upgrade on June.11th would you have to of purchased Vista from Best buy? ..or if you already have the OS can you just get it from them between june11th and july26th?

DaveK · Jun 10, 2009

I just want the retail pricing already, even if there was an option in Ireland to upgrade I can't as I didn't buy Vista lol, Evaluation Copy FTW!

if it was that, would happen on IE8? and not while gamming? only happens with IE8, change it to firefox 3.5 beta and everything running okay....and put the processor to 3.0ghz today, and no incident at this moment

It is a preorder online from June 26 to July 11. And they seem to be upgrades, so if you have vista, the upgrades will, ideally, just upgrade your OS to Win 7.
Too bad they will ship it to you when it gets released to everyone else though.

Say, where can you check how many days are left for using the RC?

Mike0409 · Jun 16, 2009

Not sure if you can. I know the cut-off date from microsoft is June 1st, 2010..then it Timebombs.

That's for the activation of the software for Windows 7. Once it's activated their is no count down option.

The activation count-down is located in the Control Panel> System Info> and should be at the bottom with the Serial # and a Key saying to activate now.
