Who's buying Win 7?

Ford Freak · 09-21-2009, 12:45 AM

I'm considering the 64 bit version of Home Premium or Pro.

I purchased the half price pre-order.

Already pre-ordered Windows 7 but will put off actually installing it for a little bit to see if there might still be a bug or two to work out. Until then, I'm quite happy with Vista for now.

Already pre-ordered as well. I've been using the RC since it's release and love it.

Only on my Laptop (free upgrade). Still running Vista on my desktop (if it ain't broken....)

fvbounty · 09-21-2009, 08:34 AM

I pre ordered Home Premium for my laptop waiting for Ultimate 64 bit OEM for my main rig.

Pre ordered a few copies a couple of months back.

I'll probably get it but am in no rush...I'm very happy with Vista 64-bit SP2...if a nice sale comes up I might jump on W7 but $200 for the Home Premium version is kinda steep...I'll probably wait for the OEM

**Sandog** · 09-21-2009, 11:56 AM

Pre-ordered Win7 Pro 32/64 bit for $99. Should be here before the end of Oct.

rjs735 · 09-21-2009, 12:05 PM

I am thinking about it if I do it will be 64 bit version. But don't have any money right now. Wife needs surgery again soon.

DBoone · 09-21-2009, 12:50 PM

I've been using the 64 bit RC and I really like it. I'll be buying Win 7 for my new build next year. Waiting for USB 3, SATA3 and $$.

If they offer a "Military Appreciation" discount as they did with Office '07. I may purchase Win 7.

wonderwrench · 09-21-2009, 03:45 PM

I have a coupon from Microcenter for Win 7 Professonal 64 bit upgrade for 99 bucks. I may or may not use it because I hate the new taskbar and the lack of the classic start menu.
