Well, after I completely formatted my HDD, I now have Windows 7 as my Main (AND ONLY) Operating System. It's working perfectly fine... I have no complaints... other than the fact that DELL didn't send me a Vista re-installation CD.

I got up at 8 to download it. It will finish at 8pm, apparently. 12 whole hours... I hope it's worth it.

It's not piracy even if it is torrented.

I don't know why you guys are getting such atrocious download times. Mine says that it will take 17 minutes at 2.5 MB/s.

It is when people are claiming to have had it long before the public beta was online.

It is the version given out to reviewers and bloggers, I believe.
And this wasn't even a week ago.
I may not be able to try this out until Wednesday, anyway.

It is a leaked version, end of this discussion. We do NOT support piracy.

What? That's insane. I download at an average of ~700kbps and it's like 25-30 minutes.

Wow, that's the fastest torrent I've ever downloaded. Max download speed of 1780 kb/s, average well above 900 kb/s.

Burning to disc now.

My friend has Windows 7 and the theme still causes H2 Core to crash just like vista does.

I'm sticking with Windows XP until the full release of windows 7 has been out for a year, then I'll give the 30 day trial a try and see if I like it.

Vista sucks hard. I hope Microsoft has really stepped it up (or down, in the case of Vista) for 7. I will not be trying it out until a good year after release, because using it now is just setting yourself up for compatibility issues and regular reformats :( . Oh yeah, and Snow Leopard is going to pwn Winblows 7.

EDIT: Also that comic is hilarious. :lol:
