Windows 7 RC

[Stringent]

Haven't been able to get Sophos to install ...

running nod32 on 3 systems with windows 7 ultimate 32 bit on. nod32 version 3, nod 32 version 4 and nod suite witht he firewall. all working great with no issues. also running 7 for gaming and so far Wow, cod4, battlefield 2 and lotro no problems. some odd quirks in regard to file sharing across 2 pcs on intial setup and also where its installing certain game files, but other than that its far better than the vista i was using preiviously. cleaner install no driver issues and no crashes or bluescreens yet and uses far less system resources.

It's for anyone with Professional, Business or Ultimate edtions

Sigh. Pro, enterprise and ultimate (check the MS web site) - and therefore not for home users. It's squarely aimed at small business users (again according to MS). I suppose you could get it for your home if you really wanted to but it's largely pointless given what it does and doesn't support.
But i'll take a guess that you're planning on pirating 7 anyway "me heartie"

Thanks for the heads up, will install my 64 bit smart security suite on the VM then

Is that free though as I notice they have a personal edition for free! It's only for Win 7 inside a VM on virtual box,

the premium isnt, but the personal edition is and it works with 7 too

when I just bought Vista Ultimate last year.

woops! oh well at least you get 7 free for this year

Right. So Enterprise (knew it was either going to be enterprise or business, couldn't be bothered to check) won't be available to the general public. But Ultimate and Professional will be available to general public. Yes it is aimed soley at businesses, but that won't stop home users with either professional or ultimate edtions from using it.

Errrr no. My 2 x Vista are legit, as well as my copy of WHS, and XP, and Windows ME. So you can stop making assumptions thank you very much.

Not to much of a loss as it was an OEM 64 bit vista ultimate but tbh I can't really see what is so special about Windows 7 that will make me want to dump Vista and run Win 7 for the cost of yet another, probably £100 OEM for Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. It's vista with bells and whistles on it and using less resources but then the gaming shuttle I built isn't exactly short on resources atm xD

Yup, thanks for echoing my post - and yet missing the point.

Sorry for two posts in quick succession but that must be the only known case of Windows ME in use to this day xD or in fact the only copy left of it that wasn't destroyed by most the tech crowd

Ah my pleasure We seem to have got a our wires crossed somewhere, but both making the same point in a round about way

I got a temp ban for apparently posting what I was downloading...other more senior members didn't get the same treatment - but I've already discussed this via PM, and won't bring it into public debate

hhhhhaa, I don't actually have a copy left that I use. I used to use it on my really really old machine, but I think I'm the only one who loved ME. I never had any problems with it. Unlike the rest of the world (apparently).

Anyway, the first official Windows Update was released last night for the RC build. Only for x86-32 system though. Check WU to get it.

Three updates for x64 also or there were for me but then again I did just install it last night lol

Got my 4770, no driver support under Windows 7 x64, just shows up as standard graphics. Nothing on ATI site either for it on any Windows version. Tried the Sapphire CD, nope nothing.

Having a similar issue with Win 7 on the shuttle, can't find the onboard sound and then it attempts the vista drivers, copies the files over reboots and back to square one. Problem I have is that ****tle just aren't acknowledging Win 7 at all atm.

Apparently the next Catalyst 9.5 will have support for it which is due out on the 13th.

You tried Vista drivers for your Shuttle?

Could have swore I saw something about the 9.3's supporting Windows 7...

I still have my holographic ME disc at home alongside my XP Pro edition and MCE2005 discs

I've just emptied a 80 Gb SATA drive last night and moved all the mp3's to my array so I'll be playing with windows 7 over the weekend.
