phoenix/windows 7

[raptorheli2]

folks i just installed windows 7 ultimate and phoenix went right on no probs. infact i haven't had to install a single driver for anything, nice.

much less of hog than vista ultimate also for anyone thinking of upgrading.

thought people would like to know the sim will work with 7 anyway

cheers

Cool, installed it on one of my other PC's and like you it self discovered all drivers. Just as a matter of interest is this the version which MS allow you to use until June 10 and then expires?

Wow.

Is the full retail on sale to the public now Paul.

Only ever heard good things about Windows 7

Might just have myself a copy.

I assume you got the RTM version from technet?
Anyways it's good to know it works! Tried it a few month ago and am more than impressed by the latest offering from MS.

Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit version?

I have just downloaded Windows7 Release Candidate, not installed it yet.
Also note that the download is only live till 20th Aug so get it quick if you want to try it.

Thanks

Tim.

i think Vista was like windows millenium - a rush to get it out, failed sales numbers and then they release windows 7 which will be like XP...a main operating system people started to like and will be alot more stable initially. Good to know Phoenix will work straight off

Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC): Instructions for Free Download

It will run fine until March 2010, then shut down every couple of hours, and then finally expire in June 2010.

So far on my other PC its working withought fault, so i could be tempted to give it a go on my main PC. Can at least evluate and decide nearer the time if you want to go with it.

Alright, that's how I thought it would be. Always good to have free stuff.

i installed the 32 bit version as history has taught me we are not ready for 64bit systems yet (software wise)

cheers

ive been running the rc release and phoenix for a few weeks now on my lappie and its been great, the only thing vista was good for was turning my lappie into a radiator when it was on.

Hopefully i should get the RTM version soon as i work with a friend that has an MSDN Subscription.
