Odd about your delivery Papa. PC world were dispatching it for delivery to customers for this Thursday. Unless the impending postal strike has changed things I would expect you to get your copies by Thursday.
Just sent them a stroppy email. We'llsee what happens. |

mines also from pc world so maybe they did. i got an email this morning saying: The following items have been booked for delivery to your chosen address. Quantity Code Description 1 002753 MICROSOFT WIN7 PROF PREORDR PLEASE NOTE: If you have pre-ordered a copy of Windows 7 this will not leave our warehouse any earlier than Wednesday 21st October (the day before the official launch date). You should expect delivery to be 5-7 days after this date. but yet here it is. |

Im running win 7 for a week now since I got my new GPU. So far its really good, only thing thats a bit shitty is that there are currently no win7 drivers for my monitor so I have to run on 1440x900 on a 1680x1050 display  But thats not thaaaat bad. So far: Thumbs up! |

Oh, that reminds me. The box contains 2 DVDs. One for a 32 bit instalation. The other for the 64 bit. I'll also try the "Windows Easy Transfer" program. It's already part of Vista apparently. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2B6F1631-973A-45C7-A4EC-4928FA173266&displaylang=enMore instructions here... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd446674(WS.10).aspxAlso just found this on the bottom of the pro box... Windows Xp mode requires additional 1 GB of RAM and 15 GB of available disk space; processor capable of hardware virtualization, with Intel VT or AMD-V turned on. Some features in the earlier Windows versions are not included in Windows 7. Get similar programs including Windows Live Mail, Photo Gallery, Messenger, and Movie Maker for free through Windows Live essentials, at download.live.com So this is begining to look realy interesting. Realy looking forward to the new parts arriving now  |

~$%£$ ~~%&**&
installed last night was going well until my mobo driver disk did not have 64bit usb drivers or ethernet drivers. made it a ballache to sort. got past that now and just in the process of restoring all my apps (which ill do tonight). never played a game in dx10 before so i wonder what it will be like or if ill even notice. i need a new gpu though so hopefully get that next month.

That's a good point. I'll have to go hunting through the loft for my software stash.

I think it says you need 15-16 gig for the install, so if you want anything else on the partition you might need a bit more.
