Upgrades are cheaper, and according to this, free! Can be preordered, etc... What about OEM deals? If a format is needed, reinstalling vista and 7 next is a pain!

What'd be cool is to get a 7 licence with vista. just like they did for 2000 and XP
 
I really liked the beta, but its really more then i want to spend on an os when i have a pretty good stable alternative for free.

!? never heard of that, although I gave up on upgrades long ago so it might have changed...

doesn't make sense, but that would be awesome. isn't the upgrade cheaper because that means you've already spent your hard earned money on one of their previous products, and they ironically feel bad for you?
 
I've read that when doing a clean install with an upgrade, the installation will ask to insert a previous product CD in the drive to prove you're really upgrading and then proceed with normal format/installation.

Good thing! realy good thing.
 
[citation][nom]fucktardd[/nom]i think alot of ppl that were really pissed at vista will get a huge sigh of relief when going to Win7, even cross platform the RC ultimate out performs xp/vista, best part is the RC came with generic drivers( had a chipset driver in xp(x64)that i could never find)[/citation]
Yeah and for the first time, I've used Windows Update to find drivers with actual results...
 
I feel your pain, but at least you can upgrade (pre-order now) at half the price, $50 (or $40 at Micro Center b&m stores) ...
 
Did you mean:

"The only version of Windows Vista that doesn’t qualify for the upgrade is Home Basic. Butt edition isn’t a factor in the western market."

or

"The only version of Windows Vista that doesn’t qualify for the upgrade is Home Basic, but the basic edition isn’t a factor in the western market."

I'm assuming the latter ... hehe.
 
I've been beta-testing the RC for months, and they sent me an email saying I could get "the same overpriced deal as everyone else- thank you for participating" Hmph!
