I imagine I'll be leaving my download on all night and it won't be finished in the morning... I'm going to be installing it on my Samsung NC10, atm I'm downloading Win7 and working on a solution to partitioning.

I downloaded it already, going to install it on Boot Camp after school gets out so I can delete my XP partition for summer.

I wouldn't download any demo from Microsoft, unless all of my data was backed up... And if I had my PC insured up to $5k...
I'll wait until the final verzion comes out on desktops, to avoid all the bugs... Doesn't look a lot different from Vista... ~Vincent |

It's not a demo, it's a release candidate
 Really though, it's stable enough to use... on a partition. But believe me, it is a hell of a lot better than Vista. Not only is it less 'hungry', but it introduces tons of new features that make me happy  Basically it's everything Vista should have been, and more. |

Hasn't it been on torrents for a while now?
For people who don't want to reinstall, here's a hack so you can upgrade without reinstalling. This post has been edited by redmonke: May 5 2009, 05:39 PM |

Got it installed and such. Haven't messed with it much, but still looks good.

Might just dual boot this. Let's just hope the driver for my 1440x900 screen is compatible with W7 now. Last time I downloaded it, it had awful resolution because the drivers weren't compatible.

On the way for me.
Will replace the old build and install this thingy. Hope it runs good at 490MB ram  Because i can only assign whole RAM chips and not partly. But Microsoft do a little mistake: this is like giving Windows 7 free away The RC is just like normal with just small bugs.. And people can fix the bugs by editting the system files..

I plan on downloading the RC Thursday night. I'm pretty excited for W7 full release, although there isn't a direct XP to 7 upgrade package planned. Those w/o Vista will have to do backups and fresh installations when the time comes. |

Never been more happy with a computer
