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?

They removed the 2.5 million key limit they originally had planned, I think that says a lot :laugh:

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.

One thing is reporting news, another is underwriting piracy. Thus, if Neowin is sued, who is going to pay? The forum posters?

No.

Exactly. So everyone please be kind and rewind. Oh and don't post warez!.

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.

er- no.

if you done helmut's method before the keys reopened you had a unique key, as I do.

Mine ends in 3DFFK. Thats not a public key ;)

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.

Sorry, some of us dont need to go to x64 :rolleyes:

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.

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.

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...

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

Grats...good fact based argument. I mean I have not hated on any x86 users...I just prefer to use x64 one since I can and two since it is going to be standard...

Yeah I get that but still, if you don't have over 4 gigs of ram, the extra gig of files for x64 are rendered useless right?

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
