no, probably not in 3 days, but i will eventually get it. i might wait till they fix any bugs with it or something, even though the Release Candidate and subsequent versions are said to run pretty well.

Why does everyone always moan about Macs and people who use Macs? They're a little expensive but they're also awesomesauce.

Yea, I ordered Home Premium upgrade to replace Vista. Vista is ok, but it is very annoying and quirky. I've read several reports that Windows 7 is what Vista was supposed to be, a natural progression of XP without all the crap and bloatware Vista comes with.

Yeah I'm gonna get the 64bit soon. Especially since I now know you install it without losing files/programs.

I've been running the full version of Windows 7 for two months now, my uni's MSDN program has it up there at no cost to myself.

Already been using it since July plus the college I work at within IT jumped the street date a few weeks ago and released the Ultimate addition so I now have 5 keys of that. Also have Snow Leopard so the other guy isn't alone.

Pre-Ordered back in July when they had that really great deal for $49.99. I probably would have waited if it was full price:P

Not really I would rather have a decent functioning 64-bit OS then XP 32-bit or the half assed 64-bit version they released. 8GB RAM is really top notch when your OS can use it all.

Not really. There's not a whole lots of software or games that take advantages of 64bit or direct x 11. Plus to an average consumer, XP is sufficient. Less driver problems and more compatibility.

but the RAM usage is a significant advantage for anyone that has more than 3 gigs of ram.

Happy with Vista, no need at all to drop that kind of cash on a new OS until I get a new system.
