[Mr. Jollypants]

As of right now. Should be running Windows 7 within a few hours.

[civhatch92]

Let us know!

I'm interested in it...

[Eran]

Hmm. I may try this on a VMWare loader.

I'll give my impressions tonite as well. Nofanboi.

Why would you come out and say your downloading (illegally Im sure, which I do the same so nothing wrong there lol) an OS? :lol:

Your connection must be dinosauric ... I started after you and finished about half an hour ago. I was just making breakfast, so no install yet.

[Mr. Jollypants]

Looks like I'll be doing VMWare if Windows installs that easily with VMWare.

I quit it on accident, and paused it for about 20 minutes while I downloaded something else. I'm only getting around 360KB/s

[Eran]

Yeah, I was getting like 700K plus ... which is odd. I don't even get mega-seeded torrents that fast. :shock:

[Mr. Jollypants]

It shows I'm only getting 330KB/s with 4 connections. I really need to get FIOS.

[Eran]

Installing right now. I <3 VMWare easy setup.

[$lick Rick]

what the hell... i have some extra computers laying around
downloading right now

1.57 mb/second :shock:

[Eran]

Wow, I will say this about it -- It's fast.

Like ... OS X fast.

Doesn't look too bad, but I wish they'd migrate away from the "Vista" feel. It seems to have some nice features, and I really like the control panel layout (tasks instead of programs). The start menu is a nice touch too.

[wannabe]

i still dont know how they got 7 out of all this

windows:
1.0
2.0
3.0
3.11
NT 3.1
95
NT 4.0
98
98 SE
2000
ME
XP
Vista

I guess windows 13 would show how much they got wrong actually... lolz


oh, btw, i am a windows user. :lol:

[Eran]

Acutally, XP and Vista ... and progressively 7 are based on the NT platform, not the 9x.

So this is the SEVENTH incarnation of Windows NT.

[wannabe]

they should change the name then

Windows NT 7.0

[Eran]

That's not cutting edge enough.

[Matt.]

where can I get in on this open beta?

[Eran]

Windows7.com

[Matt.]

that makes sense, thanks

Sorry Im not up to date with the latest OS system information. Fucking nerds. :roll:

Oh wow. Classy. Force your way into a subject you know NOTHING about, call us software pirates ... and then when you're proven wrong, counter with calling us nerds for being educated on the subject.

Get the hell out, you fucking luddite.

Just b/c I didnt realize that the new windows was a free beta, dosent mean I dont know anything about windows. I know alot more than over 1/2 of the members here on CC. Im sorry I cant devote my life to the internet and computers like you can. I actually have a life. And I never actually called you a software pirates. But hey, if the shoe fits, wear it. :what:

[$lick Rick]

eran, it's ok to admit it.... those word a day calendars can be entertaining as well as informative....

:ok:

claiming to be so smart, yet proving to be so dumb

[Eran]

Once again, you stereotype everyone who knows more than you as being obsessive and having no life. :what:

Do I have a job in computer sciences? Do I write webpages or administrate any sort of forum or website? No. I work 40 hours a week in auto parts, I spend time with my girlfriend, I read, I cook, and I work on my car.

Computers are about the bottom of my totem pole in life -- but I still know more than you.

So if I devote my life to computers and the internet, then you live in a cave. :shock:

You can dual boot.

Honestly, just create a partition JUST for Windows 7, that way if you do want to format it, you'll only lose Windows 7 and not all your other important things.

Took my old HDD out of my old laptop before I junked it... got one of those docking stations for $10 (best buy discount FTW)... and I'm throwing the beta on there tomrrow. We'll see how it goes.

[knightxrider1]

Sooo.... After all the beta testing and RC avails out there... Whos done it.. And whos switching? Any real reviews from you guys who tested it? I think im going for that pre order deal. Im not liking my vista too much.

[Mr. Jollypants]

I've got it, and I use it daily. I haven't had a single issue with it. I love it.
