    Windows 7 At these prices for W7 I'm going back to XP.

    Not quite true. Windows XP was released in 2001, not 1999. Windows 2000 was released in February of 2000 and Windows ME was released in September of 2000. Those are both older than Windows XP and they're not even 10 years old yet.

    Windows 7 Is today the day we get 7 ???

    The issue has been resolved. It was a corrupted download from Technet. I redownloaded it again and this time it installed in 32 minutes. While this is not as quick as everyone else is reporting at 20 minutes, it is faster than the 3.5 hours it was taking with the corrupted download. It is...

    Windows 7 Is today the day we get 7 ???

    I'm still trying to get the 32 version downloaded. For some strange odd reason, Technet downloads are extremely slow tonight. It's not like they put out a new version of software or something *sarcastic mode off*. As soon as I get the 32 bit version downloaded, I'll try installing it and...

    Windows 7 Is today the day we get 7 ???

    I am positive. Unless someone put a bad copy out on Technet. I'm a technet subscriber and I downloaded it from Technet (no torrents) last night. I have valid keys as well. Edit: The install has now been on "Completing Installation..." for well over an hour. This is getting frustrating.

    Well, the 64bit version I downloaded off of Technet last night has all the same versions as Vista had.

    Windows 7 Is today the day we get 7 ???

    Well, I just attempted my second install, on a brand new HP 550 notebook with 2 gb of ram. So far, same thing. I started the process over an hour ago and it is taking for ever. Just like the other computer, the install spends a great deal of time in "Installing features" (over an hour so far)...

    Windows 7 Is today the day we get 7 ???

    I wouldn't get too excited about it. It is still loaded with problems and blue screens. I downloaded the x64 bit version last night and installed it on my notebook and it took 3 hours to install on an AMD dual core X64 processor with 4 GB of ram. The video driver is not recognized...
