I have trouble downloading: it stops after downloading about 200 mb and there's no way I can make it continue the download. Firefox says that it's complete, but it's not. How can I download it?

It's Microsoft, they only let you use IE. I tired it like 5 times with Firefox first try with IE and it works.

So is anyone running this on a VM?

well thats the reason im not using 7 atm,i just downloaded it and requested my serial just incase in a few weeks theres any beta drivers released or something but i doubt it.

how are you finding 7 so far,ive only used it once for about 20 mins :P
 
I didn't have to install any drivers for this laptop. Everything just worked. However on my desktop I would have had to install my graphics card drivers. Any drivers of software made for Vista seem to work fine on 7.

I'm using 32-bit so... anyway, I'm finding it to be awesome! Better than Vista, better than OS X, and better than Linux. Best OS I've ever used in fact... I kinda hope Ubuntu Jaunty is better, but I doubt they'll fix the graphics and if it isn't nice and polished out of the box it's no good... I'm really hoping that some day Ubuntu will get more widely used than Windows... that'll really take a HUGE change of mind for the Ubuntu team though... it just seems like they're working on all the wrong things. What of heard about Jaunty is good so far, but I haven't heard a thing about a new default theme! :P Rant, rant, rant... :rolleyes:
 
Well when I installed it on the desktop here I didn't have any problems. But its quite likely that people would have had some. I haven't come across anything I don't like or have trouble with yet. Except that there isn't a delete option in the context menu for the recycling bin. You can still remove it by going into personalization, but i'd rather the old way haha. Other then that everything has been fine for me.

It's gonna be ages before people start having windows 7 specific apps and drivers isn't it? Like would they only start appearing once the final version is released?
 
I just hope Windows 7 isnt such a resources hog [system hog.. w/e] that Vista is.. because that's my main reason why Im still with XP
 
i have a problem. i dont know what to do, should i install it on another hard drive and dual-boot or upgrade from my vista installation? i dont want to have any glitches, but i know i can expect some since this is a beta.
