[Wayne Luke]

Are you sure it's a legal windows 7?

Considering it is Microsoft giving them away, pretty sure.

I have learned to overlook the crap spewing from her mouth.

I have her on ignore - it's a nice feature.

So... you're saying Microsoft is pirating it's own software?

That must be what you're saying because this is a Microsoft sponsored event.

They are dodgy and are giving away products that usually cost a fair amount of money. They are giving away pirated copies of programs.

Windows Vista (For me) is by far the worst operating system Microsoft have ever developed.

I haven't had any problems with Windows Vista. In fact I use it now and it is great.

It is sponsored by Microsoft, I just got an email from them about it. Why would it be risky?

Those sites are always risky to me. Never used them, never will

Same here.

I've had the RTM installllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllled for quite some time, too. Now it's just a matter of updating the other PCs around my house.

Does Microsoft actually know whether or not you've hosted a Windows 7 "party?"

I assume not... but you can't risk the

pics or didn't happen

I have my party pack, but as an MSDN member, I already have Windows 7 Installllllllllled.

You will all love Windows 7, I have to admit you would not notice a difference between the RC release, and the Final.. Like you would with Vista!!

Either way, its the best Microsoft released OS in my opinion

So far so good. I installed it last night and have had no issues so far.
I have a fairly new printer and went to the HP site to dl the driver, only to find out they didn't offer it yet, and it was already installed with Windows! I did a clean install over Vista and left all of my peripherals plugged in. It detected my Bose speakers, Dell monitors and HP printer and installed all of the drives (without me even knowing).

Now all I need is a free copy of Office 14! Any tips Joe?

I am also jumping on the Apple Train, and getting a Mac Mini as soon as they're reshipping to Canada, any day now..

I will be adding 4 GB RAM, removing the stock module as mine are Crucial, taking it too 4 GB of RAM.. Then swapping the 120GB HD out for a 1 Terabyte one.
With a clean install of Snow Leopard!!!
Pretty nifty for something the size of a medium cookie box..

It will just DVI to a 24 INCH Dell Monitor, and I will be picking up either Altec Lansing speakers, or THX Home Theater Speakers.. Likely THX!!

I'll post some pics after this weekend - my party is Saturday. Wanna come?
Not sure about the tote bags yet, a couple I'll keep for me the rest might go on eBay (kidding).

Sure I'll attend. Send me a round trip airfare ticket please
