| 777643 | 2009-05-28 05:35:00 | No, I spoke to the shopkeepers in three places and they all said there is only the one disk with the magazine. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 777644 | 2009-05-28 06:02:00 | Oh gutted.... Fed up with vista, and too poor for 7, and too slow on dialup. Why the hell does PC world not send out discs with the retail version? (I buy on and off, depending on the money I have) :annoyed: |

| 777645 | 2009-05-28 06:38:00 | Retail version of what? Win7?? Probably because its not final yet, and MS wont let them put the retail version on their DVD. And PCWorld wouldnt sell a mag for $10-11, with something like Win7 on it Depending on where you are, if you want the RC version, someone near you may send you a copy |

When we're talking about retail, this was meaning the retail version of NZ PC World magazine as sold in shops, as opposed to the version posted out with a subscription. Apparently people with subscriptions got a disc with the Win 7 RC on it, but the 'retail' version of the magazine, as sold in shops, doesn't have it. So, a few people (me included) were expecting to get the RC Win 7 with our magazines from the shop, but we didn't. |

Yea thats what I meant, why the hell dont they give the RC version of windows 7 in the retail version of Pc World, (well the answer is obvious, they want subscribers.) |
