I've noticed that there is a "change product key" item on the System page. Does anyone know if Microsoft is considering doing simply product keys in addition to the upgrade CDs? (you enter the product key of the retail version, and then Windows Update will then update the necessary files from...

If you haven't already nuked it, try this: You'll need a USB stick and another computer to do this. On the other computer, download and install the program here: ClamWin Portable | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives This is a free and open source antivirus scanner that will run...

I know that, but I had meant the same (or similar) updates should in theory be released for the RC to keep it secure. I know that it'll stay RC, watermark and all.

iTunes for music (have an iPod, plus the interface is just nice) It was MPC for videos, but that was because WMP couldn't handle the codecs from CCCP properly. It does on Win7 though (weird) Still doesn't handle .ass scripts properly too.

Hm... Considering this RC is good until March of next year, and it *should* update to be in-line with GA (for security reasons) I'll stick with that for the moment.

Lucky, I don't have a few thousand $$ to drop for a subscription... looks like it's the RC for me until I upgrade in October...

The watermark gets irritating at times on the desktop. But I say be glad it's only on the desktop and not on EVERYTHING you run with Win7.

There is a way, but doing so means you can't access any files on it: just simply remove the letter from your Win7 install (make sure you do it on Win7 and not XP). Restart or log off and then back on, and it should stop recognizing the XP partition because there's no drive for it.

I'm not sure if this works on Win7, but with Vista if you move any folder in the user directory Windows registers the move and will put appropriate files (music, videos, pictures, etc.) into the new location. Win7 should work similarly...

Ah, this'll make bug reporting so much easier, no more army of screenshots, just a simple zip file is all you need. (except for the forums where you can't put attachments...)
