Looks like windows 7 SP1 is about to be released and there are a number of links to download "leaked releases"!

When I need to "take a leak" - I think it should be done either in the properly plumbed indoor facilitis - or a tree. Neither of which my computer qualifies for....

I suggest everyone realize - leaks are for the toilet.

Gee I thought some of you would be happy about the release of a Service Pack, the link to the leaked version was purely to show that it is just around the corner!

Saw windows 7 on a friend's laptop in the weekend.

Can't tell I'm impressed. Looked too much like Vista without the dreamscene lol(my friend just had to install the dream scene for his 7 after he saw mine and we knew it was just a CPU warmer).

Can't say that I look forward to upgrading from my Vista.

Maybe on the new machine

Don't let "looks" fool you, Win 7 s***s all over Vista!
You won't look back, trust me.

Reece - wasn't slamming the info mate. The post and info is good - just warning people to stay away from "pirated" or "leaked" stuff in general!

I just found the fact that it was leaked to be funny...

Have Windows 7 on my laptop, Its strongest point is performance. That damn thing boots in like 30 seconds, including firewall / av background tasks.

I cant think of one time it has crashed on me.

Unfortunatly the laptop is lacking in the video horsepower and cant run high end games but I find earlier games run just fine.

I like Win7 much better than Vista.

The leaked one is only beta. Not the FULL release.

I wonder sometime if these companies leak these on purpose to gather statistics on how many people DL them and which nations copy them the most.

Who knows what other information they're gathering from there own leaked stuff..

I'm still on XP Pro, I said long ago that once SP1 comes out I will look around to purchase an OEM copy, but even then what do I purchase:
Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition
Windows 7 64 bit Professional
Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
There's probably more that this not counting 32 bit, and even the OEM versions are still over $100!

Was going for professional too, but Ultimate was only like €20,- more, so I ended up with that.

Umm that's a passion.

Thanks for sharing it. It'll be installed on the new machine sometimes after the next new year

I've found this articles. I think it would be wise for you guys to take some time and read this.

Understand your OS and its hidden features. Better you control it than someone else.
