I saw this news first thing this morning ( here in UK) what a pleasant surprise! It's always been a constant annoyance that we have to pay far more for the same item as you guys in the US; what's worse, we're not able to even order 'direct' via US sites. So it's a welcome change of stance...

.....This is quite interesting and will please many people if it turns out to be true, however it looks like this may only be for Windows 7 Home Premium; when I compared the license agreements, I noticed that Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate editions do not include a “family pack”...

Back in May of this year, I posed the following question in this thread... When MS finally release Windows7 RTM... ....I would dearly love them to offer the OS for Home use to be licensed to 3 machines from one Disk; it would probably be the best way of encouraging the uptake to Win7, given...

As usual we in the UK have to pay a premium for it; although MS UK appears to be offering Win7 to UK users with IE8 included until the end of the year. PC Pro: News: Windows 7 prices slashed - but Brits are hit hard again Still, could be worse! ;)

As I commented in a previous thread.... Well, An IT System Admin friend of mine had a 'teleconference' with MS on the subject of Win7 the other day; when I was talking with him, he asked me if there was anything I wanted to know about Win7? I ( in a 'tongue-in-cheek' mode) said yeah, ask them...

Whoops! It was also Confirmed too LOL ;)

Looks like the Acer news report of a few weeks ago was spot on :) Well, at least we can 'plan' now :) Windows 7 to launch October 22 | Beyond Binary - CNET News

So tell us.... What build version are you using? And where did you download it from? You didn't answer these two questions. So IE8 is okay after all, since you now say....."The problems with IE8 are probably badly designed web sites" A very different tone to your previous postings...

I'm using Windows7 Release Candidate build 7100. Downloaded from MS directly. I'm using AVAST, Adobe Reader/Flash, Silverlight, ImgBurn, MS Office, and IE 8 (which is fine) as well as other 3rd party programs...and no issues at all. Printers, and wireless networks, identified and...

I'm sorry, but you have still NOT told us the actual programs that are causing you problems; neither have you said if you have actually 'reported' these issues to MS. In fact, the problems you have listed tell me (based entirely on the limited information you've provided) that your...

Perhaps if you gave details of the 3rd party applications that are causing problems, you might find some help. I take it you've used the feedback function on the Betas' to let MS know the problems you are experiencing. Let us know...there are people out there who might be able to solve or at...

There is was no sarcasm nor was anything unfriendly in my posts, try reading my first post....I presumed you knew more than you actually did. I found the term Spastic offensive tbh... for personal reasons, but didn't rise to it. But I'll spare you anymore postings from me. Good luck!

You just told us you have build 7000 installed. So yes, you will need to download the Release Candidate, and yes you will need do a clean installation of Build 7100. And, by the way, I never said you were Spastic either! Only trying to help you.

Right okay....well time to Download the RC build 7100 then, that will probably sort out the issue, and given that you only have until 1st July before Build 7000 starts to shutdown on you, now's a good time to update yourself. There have been many changes and bugs fixed since 7000.

Indeed, but given the Posters' admission to a lack of knowledge, I was 'wondering' if he's actually using a 64bit version. :rolleyes:
