ScorpioRGc1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I got my key (sheer luck!) a couple of hours ago and installed. Only problem I have is when in Windows 7 is that it doesn't recognize my Vista partition; likely has something to do with my RAID0 config. I didn't install a RAID driver during install because it recognized both partitions then, and I wasn't sure if my Vista64 driver would work. I might reinstall and see, though... (I always loaded up the RAID driver during Vista's install despite it recognizing all my partitions just fine)... Other than that, and a few app freezes, Windows 7 works pretty darn good in the limited time I spent with it. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/717592-windows-7-official-public-beta/page/96/#findComment-590394232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted January 10, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wrong answer, and yes I have a key. I already made the effort of giving one away to another member, so don't be a bitch. Answer the god damn riddle. For an extra secret look, use one of those dark black or blue light bulbs for lighting! It looks awesome!

DClark Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 so whats the advantage of having a legit key rather than re arming? About 4 more months of use - assuming the re-arming is 120 days (even though the RC will probably be released long before).

Josh7289 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Winner! You've been PM'd (or will be in a sec). I AM WINNAR! Wow, THANKS! Now I have to download the ISO and try this out. Hope it works! :p And if I get any of my own keys, I'll be sure to give them away in this thread. btw, DClark, you have to admit that was a stupid riddle. Just to defend him a bit, there have never been any child abuse rulings against MJ, as far as I know. His music can be really catchy, too. :D THANKS AGAIN, THOUGH!
