Anything cheapier than this?.

Actually, you could just buy vista ultimate for by a certain date and get the free upgrade to 7. Hell of a lot cheaper.
But then you wouldn't be able to re-format as many times as you'd like, right?

And agreed with all of you, many pirated OS's are just bad, the only reason why I went went with Vista Ultimate for a while was because a guy I know was able to lend me a version, and Win7 because I used the RC1. When I get win7 it'll be a working one for when I get a new laptop...

Not RTM?

I agree. Pirate all you want. But keep a stable OS.

I'm having issues with random BSODs. I'm not sure why, but hopefully it'll be fixed in the release. (I think it's due to some overly sensitive sensors)

Windows 7 RTM? Well, the only method would be pirated which is ughhhh... Plus, my laptop is soon breaking down so will buy Win7 when I get money for a new laptop...

Uh... Getting Windows 7 RTM via the legit channels isn't that hard.

MSDN, TechNet and MSDN-AA had their chance of getting 7 since the beginning of August. That aside, you can get the legit Windows 7 even if you don't have access to TechNet, MSDN or MSDN-AA by attending some of Microsoft's Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 Launch events in the US.

Oh, I meant getting the full version legally. And I have been using RC1 on and off, currently using it since my XP disc doesn't work anymore and needed to re-format.

Those events, what thing are you talking about? A chance to buy the full version? Or getting it for free? (<- doubt it)

The versions given to Technet, MSDN and MSDNAA users are full and legit versions.

About those events, they won't sell Windows 7. They may give away free copies as prizes. I recently attended one. If I remember correctly, MS has an event where you can get a chance to get Windows 7 Ultimate if hosted a Windows 7 launch party in your area.

Actually they said that they're going to give it away at those launch events. Don't know if they changed their mind or not...

I got win 7 RC, had my first stall a couple minutes ago. All I did was click on a thread in another forum, when it was almost done loading it stalled and I had to do a manual shutdown for it to work again.

That's the Release Candidate, which still had some minor problems. Get the RTM.

If someone could let us know once Windows 7 OEM becomes available for purchase.

Natheria · « **Reply #934 on:** September 23, 2009, 12:01:21 PM »

I'm pretty sure that will be a shot heard round the internet.

Also, apparently there is a bad exploit for beta and RC versions of 7.
