I'm def. going to get Windows 7...No doubt about it...I'd have to have to go the retail route, lol, but if I just so happen to be in the market for a new PC when it comes out, I'm getting a copy...
Meanwhile, if someone has an eye out on the update that will start to give us a shitty experience whilst we still have the RC1, please do tell..!

So the one available on torrents isn't legit. October is just around the corner anyway.

Actually it should be out on MSDN or Technet on 8/8/09 so I would expect the usual warez/torrent
places will have it on that day too. If you are looking forward to it.

One thing I don't hack or warez or pirate is my OS. Sure, the installation media might be the same but there are generally activation hacks, etc that go into owning a pirated copy. I'll try to save money though and go for an OEM license as opposed to a retail package.

It's now out - the RTM is in all the usual places. Gonna give it a whirl to test some stuff.
