It's not the middle of the night there :p

736344 2009-01-10 23:04:00 Theres actually 6 different keys from what I can see - If you refresh the page on the download it will generate a new key - just tried it, and after 6 it went back to the start and gave the same keys over again.

But it activates Fine.

looks like MS finally got their Sh1t Together - either that or the rest of the world hasn't woken up yet :lol:

Still trying to figure out exactly how useful Aero peek will actually be. :illogical

Heres what Part of Aero Peek (www.imagef1.net.nz) is, makes the open windows go transparent - Just looking and found a downlaod to make Vista and possibly XP do the same thing - time to "play" :D

What's the computer with a fork icon in the tray for?

Is it just me or do the tray icons look like they've come from Windows 3.1?

Is it just me or do the tray icons look like they've come from Windows 3.1? The one with the red X is security warning - the one next to it with the Fork is the LAN Connection, then the speaker.

This is one of the workshop PC's, just slapped in another drive - W7 runs fine on it, some of the graphic's are a bit chuggish if I open to may graphical items at once - but thats expected.

Heres its spec's --- P4 2.4, 1 Gb RAM , MB= Albatron PX865PEC, Graphic card - A whopping FX 5200 - on a 80Gb Drive and the System Experiance (www.imagef1.net.nz) --- :eek: , yet it runs faster and starts quicker than the new Vista PC I have on tthe other workbench. AND I'm doing a download of MS Office Trial all at the same time, using MS's download manager. ( thats the green arrow on the Left in the task bar.
