    I think what he means is when they kill the beta by requiring it to be activated/purchased. The end of the beta period is supposedly in August, so release should be shortly after that.

    I think they are going to kill it in more ways than one.

    Yeah, i suppose it's pretty likely that they will cripple any beta copies to force a purchase, but they did the same with Vista and XP. Oh well.. gotta make money somehow.

    If Windows 7 is as good as I'm hearing, I'll buy it.

    Yeah, If i didn't have the monthly expenses that i do, it would be a def buy. Oh well, in the meantime KDE 4 is lookin mighty sexy. And i must say... as much as i love the look of 7 i HATE how chunky MS has made the windows borders lately. Maybe its because I got used to the nice minimalistic mac window dressings but i can't stand seeing a windows border more than a hand full of pixels wide... but then i guess they couldn't show off their 1337 transparency effects.

    MAN AM I IMPRESSED!

    Just managed to install 7, antivirus, all my drivers, do windows update and configure it to my liking in about hour or so, and that includes me playing with it.

    Only got one issue, thats NAS access, i can't access my nas boxes through the network, i have to type in the share address

    \\nas1\share1 for example, but i've mapped the ones i use so im happy with it, much faster than vista, and i really think if it dosen't go tits up between now and release it will be a good replacement for xp

    Thanks man!

    I did hit up my torrent search of choice (isohunt) but all I got was a VM for Windows 7, not an ISO. I'll grab that one as soon as I get home.. I'll be installing it on my Toshiba Satellite P30. P4 3.33ghz, 1gb ram, 80gb hdd, radeon 9600.
    Just noticed the rep! Thanks, heres some in return!

    Anybody in here updated to any of the newer leaked builds that have been popping up? I was wondering if it was hard. I hear the latest has some more features and what not.

    Here's my first post on Windows 7!

    Toshiba Satellite P30 - P4 3.33ghz, 1gb ram, ATI Radeon 9700 mobile.

    Still updating drivers (video), but everything worked "out of the box". So to speak.

    Gripe number 1: Drivers for my video dont seem to exist. Radeon 9700.. the Vista 32 ones dont want to work, and ATI doesnt have any drivers for Windows 7 for anything prior to a the 2x00 series.

    2. Wifi works out of the box, but the performance is awful. I'm actually cabled in right now to speed up the downloading of drivers.. which turns out isnt going so well.

    I'm not giving up yet, just thought I'd stop in and bitch.

    *EDIT* It looks like I might be out of luck..
