Link for those who are looking to download it.

I am using my 32 bit install from my MSDN.

Speeds are good on the Microsoft network right now, but not as good as they have been

Yeah, but I HATE the download manager they use. For FF it uses java (instead of IE's activeX) and it only gets to 128kb then says it encountered an error :/

Anyone with a direct link?

**crainger** · 05-05-09, 05:58 AM

Just use IE for an hour or so it takes to download. Worked fine for me. Now considering doing an upgrade, just to test. Of course doing a fresh install when it hits retail...

**mullet** · 05-05-09, 07:45 AM

I am downloading with FF no problems or download manager.

Managed to download 64bit version via FF with java, 30 minutes, 3.5Gigs!
Running fine
Had problems with Chrome (no page loading??)
FF working fine, so is IE8
Downloaded Nvidia 185.81. Working fine
Installed automatic new drivers for SB Audigy
Does not seem to like my version of Macafee, but I've not dwelt on it too much yet
So far so good

Chrome has an issue under 64-bit

Google Chrome Windows 7 64 bit issue and you will see the fix. It's basically a command line entry and it'll work fine after that.

No issues under 32 bit though.
