Windows 7 RC free till June 2010

Post by Terranova3y2 »

Has anyone checked this out yet?

The downloads for it went live today. I'm trying to decide if I'll touch it or not.

Free till June 2010 but in March 2010 it will start shutting down your computer every 2 hours until you crack and buy it.

I will be free of Windows for 2 years come october...though sadly I'll likely have to use it in the future when I leave education and have to get a job. (I'm a linux user in case you hadn't guessed)

I've D/L the iso, but am not sure I want to try it out. If it weren't for the PC games I own and certain software, I would be on Ubuntu right about now. Myself, I'm sticking with XP for awhile longer I'm sure.

I'm going to wait till I build a new box before I switch from XP.
