Can you upgrade to that with XP?
For the Beta version, how does it work when a full version is released? Is there a set time you are allowed to use and will get forced to upgrade? Upgrade to Win7 beta from XP = No Set time allowed to use it = Yes. It expires on August 1, 2009. What happens then = To continue using your PC, please be prepared to reinstall a prior version of Windows or a subsequent release of Windows 7 before the expiration date. You won't be able to upgrade from the Beta to the final retail version of Windows 7. |

You can extend the trial period from 30 to 120 days...instructions here.

Are you sure about Windows 7 will be full releases sometimes on August 1, 2009, am I correct? When the beta testing will be completely done? I will wait to see if I can hear any more new information from MS. I will let you know soon as possible. I should to have being patience for awhile. So otherwise, I won't able downloading Windows 7 beta for this time.

Has anyone run LR2, Ps CS3 or PsCS4? What's your impression of performance and its handling of large files?
I plan to wait till full version is released. |
After experiencing Vista, the beta sounds too risky. I plan to switch to Vista first in 2012.

Vista to Win7 upgrade = crashing with an uptime under 2 min.
Clean Win7 install = running OK Detected all of the hardware in my fairly-new Dell laptop except the Video card immediately - the video card (Quadro NVS130M) initially was missed but got picked up on my first actual reboot - I'm not sure if Windows update was involved or not. Don't like some of the UI changes or the new taskbar/notification area, but otherwise it's not bad. Since I couldn't get the upgrade to go (and lost a bunch of time to a restore from backup), it's on a spare HD and I have not had much time to play with it. |
I've just installed Win7 on my Lenovo S10 - installation could not have been easier. I popped it onto a USB drive and had the full install completed in about 30 minutes.
The Lenovo (1.6GHz/160GB/1.5GB) runs perfectly. I did not have to install a single driver myself, and even Bluetooth works as it should. I'm still running into too many apps on Win7 that don't work, so MS clearly changed a lot under the hood... |

They don't work at all, or they won't install? |
I gave up. Too much stuff that simply does not work, and too many things that should work but don't.
Back to Vista for me :D |

They don't work at all, or they won't install? I put up with as much as I could, but in the end when I can't even print stuff it just becomes too much. |

And you guys call yourselves nerds. Pffft! :rolleyes: :p
I hope you used the crap out of the "send feedback" button, and sent your complaints to the people that make this software, or this stuff isn't gonna get fixed. |
