Well, maybe the doorman knocked (or not) but mine was dropped through the letterbox like a letter,, no signing required. Just opened it, and there are TWO discs inside, 32/64. and one product key, am assumin you CAN have both 32 and 64 bit on at the same time, yes?

No, the license only covers one install, either 32 or 64 but not both at the same time.

My copy was waiting for me when I got in. I feel a bit sorry for those who actually want it because mine is going to sit on the shelf unopened until the RC expires or I get a solid state drive - whichever comes first.

Is there 2 discs in that box or are 32bit and 64bit on the same disc?

Two discs, one says 32bit software the other says 64bit software

I have received an email from one place that my order has been shipped, still waiting for 3 more emails

Any one updated from Vista yet, and if so, how did it go?

I'm hoping to go: Vista HP -> 7 HP, and I'd appreciate any feedback

I'm hoping to do it without having to wipe the HDD

WOOT WOOT!

Got my Windows 7 Professional today which came as a huge surprise! :eek:

So it did look like Microsoft and certain retailers are trying to send them out early before the postal strike. Great job on them!

Shame I can't really install mine yet as I am still awaiting my new hard drives and other stuff to come through from OcUK. Thats what I get for waiting too long and pressing buy when certain items were out of stock!

On another note, the label on the top of the DVD case says that my copy originated from Ireland.

Those that have already installed this, did you install to a clean hard drive or did you need to have an o/s already on there?

Am I understanding this correctly?

Does the price of Windows 7 go up after the release date, am I better off ordering now?

(I know I should have kept a closer eye on this)

stude1983 · 19 Oct 2009 at 17:50

mine arrived today and is installed!

hideki · 19 Oct 2009 at 17:53

Yes i think after the release day it goes up to the proper price, not sure what that is exactly but i think its over £100

Mine is the same, looks like we have ordered from the same place

Got an email the other day stating it wouldn't be despatched early. Got home and it's sitting here, where it's gonna stay until I decide whether or not to install this on my media pc or my laptop. So could be sitting there for a while.
