wowowowowowo… thx for the info… i going to download it :slight_smile:

#5

I’m at 46% now and been downloading it since 5pm on a 512kb/s line. That along with surfing the web. The download server is really fast!

#6

Talk about stunt!.. can we just have something final, and just give the updates? I guess not. I am asking too much in life at this point.

#7

hey… something wrong with the server or download manager lar… i download 4 times already because it always suddenly stop and error… when i resume it still give me error word!!

#8

It works! Manage to activate with no problem! :mrgreen:

#9

i see… any change ??

#10

A few, particularly the task bar. So far I can even play games like FEAR 2 and The Godfather 2. My TV card (Hauppauge PVR-150) can be used with Windows 7 via Windows Media Center without the need of installing the drivers at all! The only driver I use was the beta Nvidia Windows 7 drivers.

The desktop wallpaper auto changes every few minutes which is a nice extra feature!

No crash, no issuess, and no problem so far! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

#14

damn nice lah~!!!

#15

If you are thinking about installing Win 7 with dual booting to a non-original OS like Vista, Win 7 will actually disable the hack causing your non-original Vista requesting for cd-key.

Take note of that.

I’m going 100% Windows 7 later on! Bye bye Vista! :mrgreen:

#16

weh if my Vista Original can dual-boot?

#17

Should be no problem for original product. Windows 7 somehow override the hack used in some non-original Vista.

If you are using original software, you are safe.

#18

how about window 7 dual-boot with window xp??? can it disable window xp and request key also??

#19

I have not installed Windows XP and I’m currently running Windows 7 only. So you have to try it out and see what happens. But you can reinstall it back, right?
