I have been running the evaluation copy for a while now with no issues at all and boy does it save on battery power on my laptop and start up time is amazing

I remember that. Good ole Amstrad. I think I had a flight 'sim' on mine.
My first computer was a VIC 20 iirc.

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 :-)
My Windows 7 Home Premium plopped through the door at 7pm tonight.

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

I did a clean install mind - none of this 'lets upgrade vista' business that I have seen causing some people problems.
My PC seems faster and less noisy as a result of installing 7 :)
I've even seen two people buy copies through Amazon on my play site this week.
Full Ultimate earns me £7 ! :¬)
