ccoltmanm Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I wonder how many of us are drolling over every build released? 10,000? 20k? Maybe a few more? How many downloads did 7 Beta get on MS's servers alone?

Greasy Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Damn I hate it when only the x86 build gets leaked. :( What will I do with that other 4GB of RAM?

That limit just scared people so caused a mad rush/LOTS of hype.

br0adband Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Lol they were never going to limit it in the first place. That limit just scared people so caused a mad rush/LOTS of hype. They never said they would limit it to 2.5 million keys; the limit was on the number of downloads of the ISOs (2.5 million for each, x86 and x64) as measured from their servers, that's all. It was always understood they'd supply keys as required, and since we've since discovered that there's basically a set number of 'em anyway and then you get repetition it's a moot point.

Luis Mazza Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 One thing is reporting news, another is underwriting piracy. Thus, if Neowin is sued, who is going to pay? The forum posters?

Yeah, that, but I didn't see them keeping to a limit on downloads either. This kinda thing makes people want it. Bad. Remember when Gmail was limited? That generated hype.

Mine ends in 3DFFK.

I am Reid Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Damn I hate it when only the x86 build gets leaked. :(What will I do with that other 4GB of RAM? My poor poor VMs. lol for me I just use them in a virtual machine, no point installing it on a partition. I dont get why people still WANT to use x86, they act like that is their first choice. 64bit cpus have been around for quite some time now, long enough to the point where just about everyone has one, so I dont get why they still want x86.

consume Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Why is it that everyone who wants x64 is complaining about the people who want the x86 version? What's the point of using x64 if you don't have more than 4 gigs of ram? I tried a x64 version of one of the earlier windows 7 leaks and didn't notice anything other than an install that took up an extra gig of space.

Introspektive Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 You guys follow these releases to religiously. I really like Windows 7 but I recently reverted back to XP because some things just don't work well on 7. At least for me, The start up takes forever. 5 minutes to get to the log in screen, Also takes longer to install programs.

I tried a x64 version of one of the earlier windows 7 leaks and didn't notice anything other than an install that took up an extra gig of space. x64 is quickly becoming the more "universal" architecture. Everybody that has a computer from the last few years has 64 bit capability, so based on that logic, x64 is the most universal version. x86 is only around to power netbooks. Windows 7 will be the last client OS that releases in 32 bit architecture, hell Server 2008 R2 is already x64 ONLY.

Uhm, can I ask how old your computer is...because if it's not old its either ****ed at some hardware your using or the install was corrupted. Win7 boots faster than anything I have prev installed, not a ton, but noticeable...its def not slower. Plus that is what the majority of people have been braggin about...I also can't complain about compatibility...so far so good.. Just saying you should check...

Inctye Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Wow...k no x64 so I'm not even looking yet, but has anyone actually confirmed this "rumors" legitimacy??? Not to be rude or anything, actually read the thread before posting a comment like this. You might be at least the fifth person who asked this question and about 100 posts in this thread (hypothetically) were probably just replies to this same question. FYI, yes it is confirmed legit, safe, working, genuine, .... Might as well just wait until Friday and see if Microsoft makes its "big" announcement they have been teasing us about for the last few days. :p Edited April 8, 2009 by revreddy Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/756700-windows-7-build-7077-due-todaytonight/page/16/#findComment-590822870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
