DO yourself a favor and get 7 NAOW. Mine is actually more stable than XP Pro! To the point i even upgraded my server to 7! PM if you need some help, there is some bios hacking involved to make it legit. :thumbup

It looks nice. That’s about it.

As Wayne said, you’re better of with 7. I can’t wait till that crap comes out. Windows 7 is what Windows Vista should have been.

I really have found that Vista 64bit runs MUCH better then XP64. I do plan to upgrade to 7 as soon as it is officially released.

Agreed Vista 64 is acctualy quite nice once you tweak it to your likings…

Ive been running windows 7 for almost a year now… Since the beta… Then the RC… and now the full release.

Even since beta I havent had a single issue… Its quite a step up

What technique did you use to get the RTM to pass the genuine advantage tests?

I dident, my boss got me a legit copy…

Ive been looking into wtf to do to pass a gen advantage test so I can install it on another machine…

Unfortunatly the legit copy of windows 7 is on a work laptop

I still have the RC on my home comp, other than resetting the 30 day clock I havent looked much into cracking the full release… Im waiting for another copy to show up around the office for my home comp haha

just dl the RTM and do some research its FUCKING EASY to crack.

I hacked my bios on the server, and am running a bios simulator on the lappy386. both work 100%.

Good to know… like I said really hasnt been a big issue for me… I havent been using my home machine for quite some time so i just didnet care.

Wasnt sure if anyone has found a way to permanently crack 7… last i knew the time clock trick was the onyl way to keep it going.

Looks like ill be updating tonight, or ill just wait for another legit copy to show up and use that

That’s what I’m waiting for…an easier/safer way of cracking 7. I don’t want to do anything in the BIOS. I can wait, I’m in no hurry.

Vista was easy. You just had to avoid one update, and do the timer lock. That was it.

don’t be a sissy. if you are uncomfortable with the bios hacking, get the simulator which loads at startup. works just as well, its on my lappy386.
