i've been running it since it was pre-beta as my only OS, and have not once had any problems. dare i say it has been more stable for me than vista ever was.

Windows 7 RC1 apparently has the ability to run a "virtual" version of XP, without having to do any kind of dual-boot shiz.

My buddy is running the legit beta, he said it has compatibility issues (I think it was mainly photoshop was the one i remember)

I won't be running it for another year probably. thats if I decide to stay with windows...

I ran it for a bit in a virtual machine, but didn't play with it enough to notice a difference. Once I found a version of my VPN client software that worked in Vista, I stopped bothering with searching for a Vista64 replacement. But I'm definitely willing to try W7 again. Just need to find the free time.

I know a guy running CS4 on the RC1 version with no issues whatsoever.

I really want to install it right now, but I don't have an external to back up all my shit to.

IT doesn't work with PB on CoD4 because evenbalance is a bunch of ass pirates. 7 can wait.

The Microsoft Software Alliance for my school has it on the site for download.

[Atreus]

noob question, but is this 64/32 bit? and how is the xp VM? is that in 32/64 bit also?

[Jand3rson]

It's 64 bit, at least all the ones I've found are.

[Atreus]

nice, better than vista64? thats what i run now.

might try it tonight...
