Ive upgraded from Vista and there is a diff.Gaming perfomance is really awsome.Running GTA 4,Fallout 3 etc without a hitch.Before you'd get that lil bit of lag.I'm impressed and currently also using it as my main OS.

I'm also using it as my main OS. Not even Cesare has reported problems with it, so it must be good

[ryanrich]

No, you will have to load Windows Live Mail.

I have no comment for that. I buy the latest for my playstation 3 and xbox 360 only. If it was not for work I would not use windows or any OS at all.

That's only because he doesn't use it. Trust me, he will trash it within seconds of trying it out.

[freeboy]

I'm using is as my primary OS and it's such a pleasure to use that I'll never be able to go back to XP

You are right I don't use it. I don't use it because I don't need it. I only buy for my ps3 and xbox 36 now.

Windows 7 might look good but it is my CHOICE not to use it. Read my pm for further explanation. I am still deciding whether to actually even buy it when it comes out.

[Frozenfireside]

Downloading now. 64bit. on companies ADSL I was told too though

Now I need to remotely shutdown my PC at work. It's done downloading but it's still on.

[Stuart]

i've been having ftp woes in win7. can't connect to my server using CuteFTP, FireFTP or FileZilla. i keep getting an error when it tries to verify my password. i know that my password is correct, however, because using the came username and password from the cpanel lets me in no problem. it's not a firewall issue, as i've ensured that my firewall lets the ftp protocol through, and have even tried after disabling the firewall.

anywho, a brief google search revealed that this is a known problem and will be fixed in future builds. irritating as hell for now, but at least they know about it.

[DarkRanger]

To all the folks that I said I'll send a copy to:

Unfortunately I won't be able to do this anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I don't have the time to go to a post office and send out 20 DVD's (that's how many requests I got).

If you have a problem with that, I'm sorry.

I'm sure that it is on a local server somewhere for downloading.

[DarkRanger]

Newest version of FileZilla fixed this problem for me.

hmmmm ... i must try this

No probs DR.

Does anyone have a local mirror linky yet?

[Screeper]

Ok so i can't find a local mirror

I'm dying to get a copy..
Would anyone be willing to mail me a copy? I'll pay of course.

which version? where are you?

[Fishzn]

You don't need a local mirror to download since microsoft do mirror their stuff locally afaik. You just need international bandwidth to get the download going..once that is done then just pause their download manager disconnect your international and download via local account..thats what I did and it worked like a charm..d/l'd in about 1 day with stops n starts etc.

As for the OS..yep using it as my primary and its seems to be good! Very vista-ish but yeah that was expected. Boot times do make a difference though As for problems there are some hardware specific issues etc. (haven't had any myself) so I would recommend doing a prelim google search with your specific hardware components and their compatibility with Windows 7 and then taking the plunge. Might make things a whole lot easier and save u time

Windows 7 Build 7127 has been leaked today.
There are bug fixes, maybe the FTP issue is resolved.

[Stuart]

the "leaked" version of build 7100 contained a trojan, so i'll wait till M$ releases another one.
