Windows 7 Release 'Contest'

[ScottALot]

When Windows 7 releases, I just want to hold a small competition to see who can load it on their system first. There is no prize, unless someone wants to offer one, but I just want to keep this friendly. PLEASE DONT TAKE A PICTURE OF THE RC VERSION! That's just stupid, and won't make you feel any bit better.

To 'Win' you must take a picture of

Your desktop with a custom background (possibly your username)
The way you got Win 7. (Win 7 Coupon/Upgrade/whatever)
Some way to prove (on your desktop) that it's not RC.

I'm open to any contest changes, and I'll be posting the 'winners' right here:
1. none

Windows 95, though not on the list, is the most revolutionary OS ever, bar none.

 

[ScottALot]

You must find some way to prove you purchased it... and technet doesn't count towards the contest.

When it's released, it's just a matter of who pays the 60$$ for over night shipping.. lol

Why wouldn't it count? It's not the RC.

What do you want, the receipt?

 

[ScottALot]

Isn't technet free? And I don't want a reciept, just a picture of the box/coupon or something... could be the reciept.

 

[Bodaggit23]

No, TechNet is not free.

Isnt there an NDA when you install betas from technet?

Isnt there an NDA when you install betas from technet?

There are for some but they send you a NDA forum before they allow you access. Windows 7 does not have an NDA

Yea i have had RTM for 2 weeks now? Its been out for MSDN and TechNet subscribers for a while now so this is a little off sorry..

 

[ScottALot]

Then this is called off, I thought it'd be some sort of release where no one can get it (not the RC) until the release date.

 

[Geoff]

Windows XP

 

[speedyink]

Yeah, I've been running the released version for a while now.

 

[Shane]

Xp..even though i do like Windows 7 ...its still not Xp...i miss Xp alot.


Microsoft should release a XP X64 Version 2!

Which has DX10 lol.....now that would be the day!

 

[dubesinhower]

yep. ive got it from msdnaa. owned.

 

[ScottALot]

I think Win 7 will be revolutionary... the looks of Vista + the performance of XP (maybe even better!)
