If I'm reading things correctly, there will be no direct path to upgrade to Windows 7 from an existing XP system. Is this correct? Clearly new PCs will have Win7. Many Vista users may not follow the upgrade path, as their systems are fairly new to begin with. However it's the large bulk of...

On Windows 7 RC x64, every time I search for updates, I get this weird error -, C004F012. After a long extensive Google search, I've found absolutely nothing related to my problem.
