Just loaded up windows 7 upgrade version, took about an hour mind you theres three 1Tb drives on this machine.
Apart from Kaperski anti virus requiring to be uninstalled, and manually reinstalled. Which in fairness was highlighted by the downloadable Windows 7 check.

Re: Windows 7 So far so good
...and there was much rejoicing, after that debacle that was vista. the only really negative thing said about win 7 is that the advertised number of editions is just confusing.QRM wrote:Just loaded up windows 7 upgrade version, took about an hour mind you theres three 1Tb drives on this machine.

WHAT?!? But, but I was there Wednesday evening...all the email Challenger sent said was reduced prices, nothing about a free shirt and router.QRM wrote:I got mine at funan where they chuck in a free t-shirt, and a a linksys wireless-N router
Everybody likes free stuff, right

Maybe I should've fallen in line too, huh?

Glad to hear that windows 7 is living up to the hype. I'm confused - Vista min memory requirements is 1gb (although you need at least 1.5 to make it work at any speed). W7 is 2gb. Is this just getting the facts straight - because all I've heard is that W7 is far better than Vista and gets rid of the unnecessary stuff.
Not a techie, so would appreciate your thoughts.

According to: http://windows.microsoft.com/systemrequirements, 1 GB of RAM should be fine. The 2 GB is recommended or for 64-bit systems.carteki wrote:Glad to hear that windows 7 is living up to the hype.

Makes sense because they wanted netbooks to run win7 so they had to support only 1 GB RAM systems. Also, if you don't run stuff like Aero or all that fancy stuff, your system, low end as it may be, should be fine.
BTW, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala comes out tomorrow. Here's one piece of software you can torrent legally!
