Wow Big Price drop can't wait to get my hands and a copy which is not RC one

[Hammy]

Hope these prices translate well for us.

I think I will be getting a second HDD for my lappy and give it a try.

It will, but I don't think them losing the court battle is going to help. Looks like you're going to have to wait a little longer

Just purchased Win7 for 49$

[Grisu]

49 $ = 50 EUR, that's the official business translation for Europe...

[juneau]

Same here Grisu. $49 actually equates to ?29.64 right now, but if it was released today it would be at least ?50.

I just pre-ordered my upgrade. Limited time window for upgrades for $49.99 at online retailers. I wasn't planning on upgrading, but at that price I figured why not.

And I was pleased to see that all versions support 64 bit. Yay, recognizing all 4GB of my ram.

way to go Rand

[Duke{CLR}]

Rand are you running 64 bit now?

[Duke{CLR}]

I just tried to order 2 from Newegg but it limited me to one. I think I will try to order a second one from somewhere else.

[Rand{CLR}]

Rand are you running 64 bit now?

Nope. I'm on Vista Home Preminum 32 bit, so my RAM is throttled back to 2.8 gig.
