Windows 7 Anyone got there Windows 7 delivered early

[Tip-Top]

Went round my friends house today and in his porch was a parcel been posted so he opened it and inside was a copy of Windows 7 Professional which he ordered from PC World and so he checked his emails and they said they would be posting it out on the 22nd and will take between 5-7 working days.Anyway has anyone else recived a copy of theres yet as im guessing royal mail might be trying to get all parcels out quick for the upcoming strikes.

If you got your copy from Newegg, it's gonna be late, seems they didn't have the common sense to ship it out early enough to receive today. Definitely not their normal standard service.

i was expecting no post today because of the strike, but we did get a normal postal delivery, so some people might get their copy of windows.

Win 7 Early

Like others I received my copy from PC World 3 days before launch day....has worked well considering the problems with Vista, however I do not like Mail Live and would like to keep Windows Mail.....can it be done? How...?

thanks

I'm afraid it's either windows live mail or another e-mail provider like G-mail. Windows Mail comes pre-installed on vista and I'm pretty sure you can't get it any where else...

if you ordered online through amazon,catalogue or similar places you should have your copy by now,its nothing to do with royal mail,delivery express etc should deliver and you sign for it,i ordered mine and told i wouldnt get it til 30th oct,but i got mine on 22nd,the release date,i checked online and it was depatched on the 19th,its already in stock just not on the shelves

I was afraid that I am stuck with Windows Live Mail, but another problem is I can receive mail but not reply or send as an error message "Server does not support a SSL connection" So looks like Live Mail is going to be a problem for me anyway.
Any suggestion will be gratefully received.
Thanks

ssl

is your "my sever requires authentifcation" box ticked?

 

[gaz]

soory,i ment "server"

 

[gerrybhoy47]

Not sure where I check for that...?

 

[gaz]

server

open your email,click,tools,accounts,click on the account your using,then properties on the right ,then server,then near the bottom of the window it should say "my server reqiure........etc,tick the box if its not ticked,then exit and re open your windows mail,just an idea

 

[gerrybhoy47]

That seems to have done the trick.......Thanks, very gratefull....
