Its a beta dude, of course it will do strange things to your pc like chew up your mb's, not the finished product i wouldn't right of Windows 7 just yet. I can't test Win7 as i use the old pc for betas but last week i think she finally died. I wont run betas on my main pc so i'll just have to wait now when 7 is out.

BAD BAD BAD BAD IDEA!!

Within moments the servers crashed! People were stampeding to get connected and going.

I expect it will be 1-2 MONTHS before I will be able to get it.

They have removed that restriction and put up more servers to handle the load.
I had no problems getting both the 32 and 64 bit versions

Oh Microsoft, Mr Gates, please don't get greedy over Windows Seven 64 bit. Make a bit of charity sell Windows Seven 64 bit for under 200 dollars and change the face of computing forever.

Good day,
Not particularly a fan of you

So please make me a fan of you, sell Windows Seven 64 bit for under 200 bucks.

Well if not we may instead have to change the face of you Mr Gates forever. :rotfl:

I ran 3DMark06 on both my old XP and the updated Window7

XP: 10100
Win7: 9800

3D performance still needs some tweaking
