1262405 2012-02-29 22:17:00 Go on, you know you wanna try it :D Chilling_Silence (9)
1262406 2012-03-01 02:34:00 Downloading 64Bit now. Been downloading for 10 mins and its only at 0.1 % :( sahilcc7 (15483)
1262407 2012-03-01 02:45:00 I'm not as I can't afford to upgrade when it comes final anyway, slowly migrating to other OS's gary67 (56)
1262408 2012-03-01 02:48:00 It sure requires a bit of a change in thinking in regards to the start menu. wratterus (105)
1262409 2012-03-01 03:12:00 Brilliant, Now it says 'Interrupted', might have to download via torrent. sahilcc7 (15483)
1262410 2012-03-01 03:18:00 Downloading both x86 and x64, something to play with in the weekend ( if I get time) speeds up and down, between 350KB/s to 1.5MB/s wainuitech (129)
1262411 2012-03-01 03:24:00 I can't get it to boot on that one machine. Going to try another tonight and hope for better results :p Chilling_Silence (9)
1262412 2012-03-01 03:58:00 I got it going in a virtual machine (virtualbox) no trouble and also installed straight onto a hard drive, had very little trouble with drivers, vista x64 and win7 x64 drivers worked pretty well for the most part. love the task manager and file copy dialogue, no so hot on the Metro start screen. wratterus (105)
1262413 2012-03-01 04:47:00 Just installed it on this rocket of a spec PC the x86 ;) Actually hums along not to bad P4 3.0 & 3GB RAM :banana

First thought -- Metro - Hmmmmmmmmm Second thought, and this is going to be a HUGE learning curve for a LOT of people, wheres the farkin start menu :horrified ------- Oh found it , what an arse about, pain in the butt way of putting it :waughh:
