QOTD: Will You Be Running Win 7 Tomorrow?

[bunz_of_steel]

Only if it's free, I aint payin for it. Not gonna drop a few hundred $$ on Windoze7 that still doesn't give you anything out of the box other than web surfing or doing email. I can do that right now for free and safer with LINUX yar!! So nope don't plan on installing it unless I get it for free.

I wont be buying it untill I can afford to build a new PC. Might be a few months.

 

[wildwell]

No, but of course I'm curious what the feedback will be once so many more users get their hands on it.

Running RC 1 on 2 PC's, and I have a retail copy running on a 3rd. (House Party)

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Running it already ,and have been for 2 months. I love it. =)

Pre ordered it. Can't wait to fully utilize all my 6GB RAM in my i7 920 based Asus P6T Deluxe V2 (X58) system. I was running the Win7-64bit RC in dual-boot with Win XP Pro but did run into hard crash when I connected an eSATA drive while in Win7 and it crashed (not even a BSOD). Hopefully, Asus' latest drivers will resolve the issue. Haven't had the time to install and test. So, XP has been my primary and I will start to transfer/migrate to Win7 over the next couple of months.

Already on my machine. Had XP previously.
So far, very happy with Win7 x64. A bit unstable at first due to, i believe, either x64 or old opteron 200 series. But after an Win auto-update (amd component), everything is great.

Win7 is awesome!

[citation][nom]omnimodis78[/nom]Dude, no offense, really, but I don't get this at all. Vista may work fine for you, but Vista is not a good OS, though Windows 7 redeems it nicely. As for waiting a week, or a month, or even a year, is totally silly. I've been running Windows 7 for 2 months now without any of the problems I encounter regularly with Vista. So yes, upgrading to 7 is a smart move for most, and while you may choose not to do so yet, don't take comfort in your reasoning because it is flawed.[/citation]

My reasoning is that I have a product that works perfectly well for what I use it for. I didn't buy Vista when it came out because I had a perfectly good copy of XP. Now I have a copy of Vista that works perfectly fine and see no reason to buy 7. By your reasoning, I should get rid of my iPhone 3g because there's now a 3gs or upgrade my 8800gt to a 5800 series even though it works great in any game I play. I'm sorry my 'flawed reasoning' causes me to not jump on the bandwagon of everything that's new day 1.

[citation][nom]bbtim[/nom]Sadly Amazon does not ship out until the 22nd. Won't be running it until the 26th/27th.[/citation]
Actually they are shipping it so that it'll arrive on the 22nd.

I ordered mine through Amazon when they first started taking Pre-Orders and they shipped it out yesturday via UPS Ground, it's scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Then again, I'm already running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit RTM from TechNet

 

[blackpanther26]

I'll be running to tomorrow.

 

[dark_lord69]

I'll stick with my current dual boot Windows 7 RC and windows XP until the RC edition expires. Then maybe I'll split the cost of a family license of windows 7 Home Premium with my sister.

 

[cruiseoveride]

You don't run Windows. You look through them.

 

[RADIO_ACTIVE]

I am already running RC 1 ;P until that is up in i think March then I will buy an OEM

 

[kentlowt]

whenever I get it in.

 

[ravewulf]

Tomorrow? I've been running it for weeks thanks to MSDN-AA!

 

[Flying Sq]

Been running RTM for a few weeks now, it's a huge improvement over RC.

 

[Guest]

Not tomorrow!
I'll probably wait 'till the prices fall a bit!
If I buy a pc in the near future, it would have win7 on it anyways.

 

[Guest]

no. I pre-ordered from best buy and wont ship till tomarrow

 

[bustapr]

No, I'm so broke that I can't even afford Linux.🙁

 

[spectrewind]

I am an MSDN subscriber.

I was running Vista x64 for quite some time. Now runing Win7 Ultimate x64 6.1.7600 RTM. Feels more like a service pack than a new release. Then again, the Winver is absolutely a reflection/parallel to Windows 2000 to XP (5.0 to 5.1). This service pach reference I make is akin to XP SP2's added features.

That said, it had its places where it seems to shine compared to Vista. I rarely had problems with Vista, and when I did, the probably turned out to be hardware failure. There are also some growing pains that the coming months will probably cure (with 3rd party software).
I have lost no data, but I do not actually keep anything I need on this machine.

 

[CoryInJapan]

WIndows 7 is awesome. Running Windows 7 unltimate 64bit here

 

[eodeo]

have it and i love it. totaly amazing os almost as good as win8 😛

 

[powerbaselx]

No. Of course not. First i want to see the mass effect and the problems that will arise.
As i do remember very well (unfortunatelly) that Vista RC was innovative and after the mass distribution it became clear that was a fiasco.

 

[baddad]

Yes if my preordered upgrade for W7 RC 1, which shipped the 20th from Newegg, arrives tomorrow.
