Lol Microsoft is completely failing. They should have known there would be millions of people trying to get it.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!

I have the whole thing, but can i just install it from inside of xp or do i need to make a boot cd.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!

You have XP.

You have to install a new copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.

Dunno if I should.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!

So yeah, got my key just now and now gonna reformat my comp to W7. See y'all on the other side

EDIT - Will Vista drivers work with W7 then or will XP drivers work? Haha, hopefully one does...

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!

Vista drivers are supposed to work with W7.
And, you're stupid for reformatting to use W7. It may be too buggy.
That's why I'm going to use an external hard drive for my laptop version.

Downloading

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!

I've been waiting to download this for a little while. I don't know, I might have to go somewhere else since I did get a key.

I'm kinda interested in how this will work completely on its own. I've been needing to reformat my desktop for a little while and I think this will both get me to do that and try the new product.

Downloading right now, it's going pretty fast. I have had it going for like 15 minutes and it's already at 24%.

I'm on my family PC which is pretty nice, but I would rather install it on MY XP Desktop in m room. Problem is, it can only read CD's.. it's really old lol. Not sure what I'm gonna do.

Then you probably shouldn't expect it to run Windows 7.

It has the proper system requirements, I'm running XP on it right now and I haven't had any issues. Kinda sucks, though. I would much rather test Windows 7 on there then on this (family PC).

Just finished reformatting to W7 and Sprite... OMFG!

First off, it auto-detected all the drivers my system needed, auto-downloaded then and installed them.

Secondly, the sound processing seems far better than with XP because the sound is MUCH more clearer and pristine.

Third, every game I've installed thusfar runs at better FPS and higher qualities than before.

Fourth, if I come across a bug, it'll be too minor to care about until the patch comes out that fixes it.

But holy ****... this is such a ****ing smooth, fast, and clean OS.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!

Looks pretty interesting, but by the time my dial up finished loading it all available downloads would be gone, lol.
