Here's the download link www.microsoft.com/

Some video tutorials for those who want to dual boot it next to your other OS.


and here's a program that allows you to open a whole OS in a window and your desktop and use it.

And last of, here's a video showing you how to install and use Windows 7 on Virtual PC.


Thanks to Kamon62 from MyWii for the info, he doesn't know I borrowed it yet
You can definitely install it at home yourself

From what I've seen so far, Windows 7 is really quite sleek. I'm loving it
yeah i have been using it for a few weeks its very smooth. i only just started using the taskbar icons rather than the labels though

yeah me too.
have the whole taskbar taken up with my most used icons and loving it.
was a bit hesitant at first, but I think I had it set up wrong and was in denial that w7 was in fact easier to use than vista.
now i think they are about the same, w7 just has a better task bar.
I still dont have anything pinned to it, that just looks messy to me, i still prefer rocket dock. On my netbook the taskbar is pinned the **** up however
no way, the new taskbar replaces rocket dock to no end!
time to get all taskbar fanboi-ish.
yeah i'm really liking the new taskbar aswell
I still hate it.

And it in no way replaces rocket dock!

rocket dock seems useless with windows 7 tbh
i turned it back to the vista normal looking taskbar.

only things i have pinned is FF, Steam and WMP

i never knew steam fully supported win7 taskbar.

ITS GOT EVERYTHING! (rightclick on steam)


you can pin steam 0.0

*pins steam*
Sweet... *nodding head here*
you can pin any program =.="

even if you dont have it pinned, it's still got the epic menu
ive got firefox, outlook, steam, wmp. prety much all i use
You guys never knew of these ? o.o
i just didnt experiment with it... had what i needed down there

That's a great feature it does save time when wanting to change your status.
I love steam more xD
Pin Word to your task bar and it will show you your most recently opned documents. MSN also works in a similar was as Steam does.
i swore not to use msn for the rest of the year.

iunno why, just for lols.

word? pfft

no need for word

Explorer does that too with recently opened folders.

Well I only started using 7 properly just today because I got my laptop replaced eariler today. I have only been using the new taskbar as it came default with this build of 7 and I love it. I don't even know how to change it to the labels but I don't mind - I'll figure everything out later.
