You'll still need to check back at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ if you want to get one of the 2.5 million keys available, when they're released.. otherwise, you can extend the 30 day trial three times, the same way as Vista - After 29 days of use, Open a Command Prompt session (Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt), type slmgr -rearm and hit enter.

I'll be waiting for a key... but I'm already downloading the x86 version of Windows 7 from the link above :)

You have to tell me how the 64 bit one is :P. I've never had a 64 bit OS, and I was thinking that maybe I'd try windows 7 64-Bit.
 
Okay, just finished installing Win7 x64 Ultimate on my laptop. Not too bad thus far. I like the task bar.

Now I'll do some testing on it's functionality.

It's only 238MB? (That's all I'm getting before it says the download is finished) :confused::confused: The download says 2.4 GB.

It does that in random spots.. it's because of how many people are downloading it.

It's 2.4GB, just restart the download. Sadly, that's the only option at this point if you want it from Microsoft.
