So from first impressions, Windows 7 will be better than either Vista, or XP as it won't have a bunch of software bundled into it and it will give the user the ability to opt for things we use and not be saddled with programs we never use.

So I'm looking forward to getting a new 64 bit version of the new os, after it hits the shelves. I think I'll get a couple more hard drives and get an OEM version as it usually saves up to 45% off the shelved version. That way I can set up a nice raid on the rig.
Yes, 64 bit Windows 7 sounds the way to go for me,:yep: getting OEM version would be nice but have never been able to get one unless I buy a whole new computer system, and that's out as I always build my own!:-?

Reece,

You shouldn't have to buy a whole new system to get an OEM version. If I get one, I always get a hardive upgrade to go with it. By the time window 7 is out and gets all the bugs worked out, those 10,000 rpm hard drives should be really reasonably priced and of good size for storage too. So I always tell the salesman that my hard drive fried and I need a new one or two, and I want the new os, but in OEM so I don't get all the extra junk. It's a little more expensive for the hardware compared to online purchasing, but the savings of up to 150 bucks for the os outweighs the savings on the hardware.

Comp USA was good about doing that, and so is Microcenter.

I quite agree, when it's released I will try to get an OEM version, might have to post here for some suggestions or places that will do it!:yep:
