And the RC will be live... for a while.. 
That's gotta be some kind of record.. hahahaXP Pro SP 3 to 7 RC
Hello people, Ted here for the 1st time.
Been “testing†Beta 7 (7000) for a while, I’m one of those who skipped Vista, kept XP Pro (SP 3) and now I’m inches away from downloading the RC of 7
Question: Didn’t MS have a plan for XP Users to download RC 7 on an external HD or partition and then text edit a workaround to install RC7 without owning Vista?
Any info will be much appreciated
thanks

Got mine installed by around 9 A.M UK time . Exactly the same as the torrent that was leaked but could not resist the thought of something for free from MS if only for a yearA couple minutes after midnight it started working ...so I got the download started and went to bed, checked it at 4:00 AM and it was finished, so I'll be installing it later today !! I went with the 64 bit version.

On 32-bit install, I kept getting error realed to sg****.dll and autorun.dll
WTH is autorun .dll?
Autorun points to setup.exe.
I then was about to get to the Expanding file section and it sat there at 0% for an hour.
Then downloaded the 64-bit and it';s running fine.
Also Bad Image when installing 32-bit.
I tried Imgburn at 1x speed and verified files, still didn't work, then I tries ISO burn, same results.
Anyone else having problems with the 32-bit version?
Yes, it was download from MS site.
