Windows 7 Release Candidate

[ajames942]

Hey guys, did anyone else download the Windows 7 Release Candidate? Its all I have on my laptop, and seems very promising. My computer runs it way better than it ever ran Vista. I would include some screen shots, but my graphics driver isn't working, so I everything is really big lol. But I will have that fixed by tomorrow. The design of it is very neat, and very easy as the same time. You can go to Microsoft.com to download it if you wanted to try it.

I've got Windows 7 running on my laptop at home and a desktop computer as well, so far I think this is my favorite windows ever. So much faster then Vista and so far no stability issues what so ever.

I agree 100%.

Windows 7 is way faster than vista was on my laptop. I will buy it no matter what, when it is officially released.
