Well, since it's free and there's nothing on the HD you'll be using I say try it!

So hold off on the vista correct.

It ends in august i believe.

So what will happen with my computer when it comes to a end? Will the OS just dissapear?

Seriously does anyone have a problem with the link? I got to 530 MB with a download manager add on for Firefox and it just stops.

Oh... that might explain it. I can't stand download managers.

Right, I mean, if it doesn't work, then you can buy Vista.

Even without the download manager it stops around that point.

Does it work for anyone else?

I think it will be deactivated. But by then the final release will probably be out.

Weird... I didn't use that link so I don't know.

Yeah, something like that.

I didn't have any problems with the download. Sounds like your internet is randomly disconnecting or something.

My internet is fine it's not disconnecting i think it's the site. What's the build number?

 

[Kesava]

7000 i think.

 

[Respital]

7000 i think.

Thanks, i guess i'll look for an untouched torrent. Fricking windows 7 already wasted 2GB of bandwidth. -.-

Also it seems to be due to a timeout according to the download manager at least.

How do I get rid of the boxes that pop up that always asking for my permission?

Go to the Windows 7 page and use the software Microsoft provides to download it. Then you won't have any issues. The links on page 17 are what keep dropping the download.

Go here to download it (at the bottom of the page)

theres still no drivers out for windows 7,So its not going to make a very good main os just yet.

Actually Shane my Vista drivers installed fine for me. Nvidia may be an issue but ATi's drivers certianly work! As do Realtek's and Ralink's.

Disable UAC from the User Account Settings.

Actually, Windows 7 has added a feature that allows you to dictate how sensitive the UAC is. That's a nice touch.

Every time i click the download link it does nothing. The pages loads and does not change at all. Any ideas??
