So when does the beta end?
[QUOTE=Lf757;17729154]So when does the beta end?[/QUOTE] The beta has already expired I believe. The RC starts to expire in June 2010 (I think).
But im on Build 7100, thats the June one right?
Yes
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;17727253]My point exactly, that's the largest segment of the computer market.[/QUOTE] But it's not really the same. For those who actually care, 64 bit has been popular for a while.

Fine, how's this: [QUOTE=Roast Beast;17726031]That would be kind of pointless, considering how x64 is just beginning to become mainstream.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=S.T.O.R.M;17732259]So how did everyone get the Windows 7?[/QUOTE] I am running a free 90 day enterprise install right now, the people I used to get my msdnaa account from pulled windows 7 right before they let me in :argh:. I have it preordered though so it's all good.

[QUOTE=S.T.O.R.M;17732393]So if you get you get like Vista with the Windows 7 upgrade, does it come in a pack like people have got?[/QUOTE] That pack is only for the people doing the house party promotion for MS.

But I'll post the discounts here in a bit.
[QUOTE=ilolled;17731971]What the hell's the point of the Games explorer?[/QUOTE] A central location to launch all your games.

[QUOTE=Roast Beast;17729710]You only object to my use of the word "popular"? Fine, how's this:[/QUOTE] Indeed.
[QUOTE=S.T.O.R.M;17732259]So how did everyone get the Windows 7?[/QUOTE] MSDNAA, if you read some of the pages you would've known most of us got it through school or those party packs.
I have 7 on a coupon through buying vista. I'm currently using vista, though, i'll wait till 7 comes out and gets reviewed by the pros before i put it on my system
The toolkit activator stopped working :frown: Any really nice people care to donate a key?
