I've been running the 90 day Enterprise version.

My pre-ordered Home Premium was due to be despatched today (21st) and delivered 26-28th, however, mine has also been couriered as of last night (in transit) and delivery estimates are 22nd.

Since running W7, my CPU has never run cooler.  Previously at 55C and now 45C - with the battery plan on high performance..

my one is comming from Amazon and acording to tracking is now 50 miles from me and set for delivery in the morning and a never paid for express delivery :)

Have you seen the advert in the web claiming that the snipping tool is new to windows 7 yet it is already in use on Vista

Hi Digi,
I saw that in the BBC's taster video but didn't realise someone's saying it in an advert as well!

It is a useful little tool - I remember reading your post on it previously :¬)

The BBC bod also says you had to fiddle about dragging/resizing windows to compare two windows on the screen before W7 - not so; from XP you can select the windows in the task bar (CTRL + LH click) and then RH click to tile vertically or horizontally automatically.

Hi Hmmm

I must be ancient I have used all those operating systems on that BBC windows through time page :-) and even sadder I actually still have copies of mostt of them in my attic! I still have DOS OS on floppy disk, am not that good though as I dont have any of those big big big floppy disks these days

Digi

How about Locoscript still available! I used that on my old Amstrad PCW8256. The used 6mm this 'double sided' floppy disks to load everything.

Best game ever on PCW8256 - Starglider by Rainbird, an off shoot, at the time, of BT:-) Mallard Basic was an improvement on Locoscript for the same machine series 8256 and 8512

The very one, Hmmm - I say BT, because of a technical query I had at the time regarding Stargilder. I rang 'technical numbers' and spoke with a chap that admitted that Rainbird was infact part of the then BT Corporation. Never did get a straight answer, but you didn't then - always worked it out for yourself in the end - but nevertheless a brilliant game :-)

Yeah if it was, it was the worst kept secret in the world.

Yeah to Amazon my one arrived at 5pm on Wednesday, only down side the box had been squished and cracked but the disks were fine 32 bit or 64 bit? I went for 32 bit, the laptop that was running the evaluation copy would not upgrade I had to do a clean install and it was all over in 25 mins :-)

My main PC on Vista did upgrade but it took about 2 and a half hours to do the upgrade but again once it was up and running I had no problems, yet the BBC are reporting many many problems with upgrades

Digi

W7 certainly seems to be going down well.
I've even seen two people buy copies through Amazon on my play site this week.

Full Ultimate earns me £7 ! :¬)
