I cant burn the .iso in xp or vista

If I use my product key in Virtualbox will I still be able to install it properly afterwards when I find a pc that doesnt crash during burning?

Do you get 30 days like a retail version?

I think it doe give the 30 days. If you need more keys though, go to that blog, or the actual key-giving-out page and grab a few more. I have a few saved just in case. :D

Actually most people are having a positive experience with W7. So while you are correct - he isn't everybody - he is definitely more representative.

I never said whether he was "more" or "less" representative.

But as for W7 being good for a lot of people, that would not be surprising! :)

I'm running the build 7100 TC and it's running great. However, is there a point in keeping it since there are leaks of advanced builds? Should I keep it going or just get back to vista? Are MS still updating build 7100 RC?

[Shocky]

Not having much fun with Windows 7 so far, getting random blue screens which don't even last long enough for me to read them.

Systems worked flawlessly with XP and Vista so I don't see how it's hardware related. Not too pleased and at this rate I won't be buying a copy.

[ViN86]

You running the beta or the RC? RC is rock stable for me.

[lduguay]

Hope not, the beta version will expire in 5 days.

[betterdan]

RC is rock stable for me also.

Dunno, using 7600 16385, just giving it a test run before I buy a copy, not activated.

Only numptys buy new OS's without at least trying it first.

LOL yea. I am running 7100 (RC) and it's been rock stable. Going to run this til my copy ships in October.

RTM (lee)

Nah, you get 30 days to use it without having to activate it :)

[nekrosoft13]

since win7 is RTM, maybe its time to kill this beta thread ;)

[Shamrock]

Now that retail is available, should this remain a sticky?

[trivium nate]

probably not
