Been getting "unable to service request" all morning from MSDN 🙁

Where do I download it at I can't find it at MSDN.

fonzy, go to google or yahoo.com and type in "MSDN Library"
if you still can't find it, I suggest returning your computer to the store you bought it from.

just torrent the distro and use your own key, perfectly legi, perfectly legal

What I want to know is...with RC being released...how long before retail version goes out to market. I'm going to need a laptop for grad school next Fall and would like 7 pre-loaded on it.

Can't users who already own a Win7 beta,just simply use the update function?

I've noted that the beta version of Win 7 works fine with 768MB of ram; but too slow with 512MB of ram.
It does work with 512MB of ram, if you disable lots of services, aero, programs, etc..
As far as technet I can't seem to download the RC.

However all hail mininova which seems to host RC1.

TPB hosted one an hour ago, what seems like an nlited version (or a bad version).

So if I install RC1 over Vista and then the final release comes out later, will I have to uninstall/reinstall, or just install the final release?

you'll want to do a full install. you can try an upgrade, but i always find that a full install is not as bad and is a good way to start from a clean slate...
