Great stuff! I will def get myself a copy! So happy with RC1 so far. Wonder what the price will be?

 

[calvincoetzee]

probably around R1600 for Home Premium (OEM) if not more.

RC1 with only two bluescreens so far. Surely Microsoft will have some Vista-Upgrade special price / offer? Must say RC1 is much faster and more stable than Vista

M$ really needs to keep it affordable or I'll be using XP until 2050...

The RTM version is July 2 for Technet

Just in time for me, buying a new PC and want to go W7 - no Vista for me. I'm only going to use it for my games so I will take the basic version thank you.

Still use LINUX for the real stuff - emails and surfing

Yip, very happy with W7 so far, will gladly pay for a copy of this OS but the Ultimate version could be expensive, any where from 2.5k-4k... Eish, that's about as much as my PC is worth...

if it is too much then I'll just have to use the RC until it expires and then downgrade to my vista home. :-(

I can't wait for this. Just need to find someone to buy my body
