Windows 7 RC is now live. Who else is getting it? I'm backing up my stuff right now and installing.


GOT IT! Yay, but my backup is taking too long.

Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours.
Wait, isn't that an improvement rather than a nuisance?

I'll be downloading this in a while...(blah, not in Italian...)

I'd imagine Microsoft has thought of that. It might connect to the internet every so often and check the time syncs with Microsoft's time.

If so, try and get a firewall detecting outward connections, and if such a connection happens, sue Microsoft for connecting to the interwebs without your consent. INSTAWEALTH!

But then surely you would be sued for breaching the Terms and Agreements contract that you signed when installing the RC.

Holy jesus! ohmy.gif (Pickles arent holy, are they?)
They made new Paint ohmy.gif
Why didnt they just use Paint.NET in the first place?
It is Paint.. just VERY many improvements rolleyes.gif

But still, it misses layers.. toothbrush.gif
I hope someone from Microsoft heard that eyebrows.gif
Because then someone might get work to do evil.gif

And.. why do they at all let the public test it?
They have many testers at many different factors?
There must be something they have plans about ninja.gif

Boot camp is only for Macs. For Windows you have to dual boot.

Make a new partition (download a GParted live CD and run it), insert your disk, boot into the disk, install on that partition.

There is no switch for it, but you make another partition.
It can be risky. closedeyes.gif

When making a new partition with Gparted, should I make my 30gb win7 partition unallocated or NTFS?

Anyone like it/dislike it? Because I don't wanna upgrade without getting someone's opinion.

Is it more compatible with programs then Vista? Is it visually appealing (not too important)? etc.
