| 793751 | 2009-07-22 20:50:00 | Whenever its available for *cough* download...which is now:p..The only versions that are available are leaked, Read as pirated versions. Wont have "real" product keys.-- Reports clearly say lots of the leaked versions are NOT the real RTM & many are infected with malware, which isn't surprising since as of today the 23rdThis report (www.pcworld.com d_to_know.html) it still isn't signed off to release. Go figure :groan: I'll wait till the 6th when I can legally download it from Technet, with legit Keys. |

| 793752 | 2009-07-22 21:12:00 | Aaaah the current version that you can find for download is not the RTM, but is the build version that has been 'voted' to become RTM. Basically its a recompile then (AFAIK) with the appropriate build-flags labelling it as such, adjustments to the product activation / lifecycle stuff, additional language support, and then MS ship it off on a nice shiny reflective DVD ;) Yeah bring on August 6th. I don't have a sub, but know somebody who does and is happy to give me their copy (Not too sure on the legality of that, but I'm pretty sure its all gravy). 'tis only a fortnight away. As it stands now, I'm quite impressed with Win7. Tried installing Winpcap 4.1 Beta 5 and it failed, Win7 is an unsupported OS. Re-installed in Vista compatability mode and it worked a treat :D So far performance has been top-notch, and I take my hat off to MS for a job seemingly well done :) |

| 793755 | 2009-07-22 22:33:00 | Probably stay with XP / x64, unless I win lotto (which will probably never happen) :p | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 793756 | 2009-07-22 23:44:00 | Yeah the 7600.16385.090713-1255 that was quoted on Ars was available some 4-6 days ago now from illegit places... I'm using x64, and found it interesting when installing the 64-bit iTunes that it wanted to put it in the x86 Program Files dir by default? |

| 793757 | 2009-07-22 23:50:00 | The only part of Itunes, thats x64 is the gear software (for ripping/burning), not Itunes itself. Pretty hopeless that Apple makes it harder for XP Pro x64 users to use it (unless you hack the setup file). But this can be fixed by installing the 64 bit version of the gear software. Whereas it works fine on Vista x64 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 793758 | 2009-07-23 01:05:00 | Yeah but we all know XP was never 'meant' to be 64-bit, it was definitely an after-thought... ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
