WIn 7 This Thursday! Excited?

I ordered my Win 7 Pro copy and am really looking forward to get my hands on it. How much are you excited?

 

Hell yea! I thought that I was the only one excited!!

 

I'm going to an event at my college campus which gives me Windows 7 Professional Full Retail for a $25 admission fee. Bought my ticket yesterday and extremely excited for Friday @ 1!

 

SSD TRIM support, and even more improvements over Vista. Heck yes I'm excited

 

Got my free copy of Win 7 Ultimate through "efficiency" event...

 

It's probably quite obvious where this poll will end up.

 

Hahahaha! Of course, excited is needed to celebrate Windows 7 Official Launching Festival(LOL).
I do expect a lot of changes and improvement after all. Please don't let me down, Windows 7.

 

Man I wish I could get my hands on a Windows Pro 7 copy at a discounted price, but no luck. I am not a student anymore

How are you non students getting it for such great prices?

 

What is this event and how can you go?

 

These events are done, I believe.

It was posted in this forum quite awhile ago. I was one of first to register, I guess.

 

You bet!! I just wish I knew when exactly Futureshop is shipping my Win 7 Pro? I 've heard they are puralating it it on the 22nd. I hope to have it by Fri.

 

Retail employees get W7 Ultimate for free through Expertzone.

I'm so excited, I might finally install Windows 7 over my XP.

 

All you need is a University Email, so a friend who is in college and does not care can get the deal for you for $29 bucks!

After the debacle that was Vista, I'm very leery of spending my hard earned money on another Windows OS. I understand that Windows 7 is nothing like the problems that Vista had, but still. I've never been one to be a part of the early adopter crowd until all the kinks and problems are ironed out first.

Personally, I'm going to take a wait and see approach.

 

I hear ya, but from a long beta tester, My wife even has 7 now ( for a month) and loves it! We agree its easy to use and no blue screens, after I tested it for a while I then put it on 4 laptops at home all run smooth!

If you change your mind you will not be sorry in the least.

 

Well, thankfully my copy of Windows 7 will be au gratis (thanks to the Microsoft event), and so I'm sure that I will change my mind rather quickly.

 

TechNet so I've been using the release version since August...

 

MSDN AA here.

 

Lol, have that, too. Just too lazy to get a log-in.

 

Almost half of the voters already have Win7

Kinda ruins the excitement for those who don't have it yet, huh.

 

Well, I'm on RC but I'm still excited.

 

I'm giddy, but that 95% because I'm finally replacing my decrepit 5 1/2 year old laptop with a new one. Completely skipped the Vista era I did.

 

@Senor
Good for you and I believe you will be the most excited as you gonna see a hell lot of changes from XP to 7. Enjoy. 13 more hrs to go!

 

you just need a uni email
check your old email still works as my brothers one still works even though he is no longer a student and i was able to order another one.

 

though i can't buy Win7 (my parents would kill me) im extremely excited. think there will be an earthquake as soon as it launches?

 

2012 happens perhaps. LOL.
My time-zone still have about 20minutes to reach Thursday.
But I am sure nothing gonna happen because Microsoft/Windows stuffs usually follow US time-zone.

 

I've been using W7 for almost two months already so no. But I am excited for the new and finalized drivers to be released tomorrow!

 

yer this is really gay... they are releasing it at the shops by our midnight but i am getting the student discount so i will have to wait...

 

I guess I'm in the minority but Vista's has been working fine for me so far. I'll probably update eventually (perhaps in December because that's when I have more free time) but I'm in no rush.

 

Reporting, my time is 1:25AM now on Thursday, 22th October 2009.
Windows Updates checked. Nothing happens.

 

W7? It's so passé.


I've been running W7 via Technet for several weeks now. And the betas well beforehand.

Just waiting for W9 now. (We know that we can skip W8 as history has dictated already)

 

Not much. It's an OS, that's all.

 

You'd swear to Mac users that OSX is their Jesus whilst Jobs is God.

I agree. It's just an OS. But the functionality added to the OS benefits many people. I for one can say the features are welcome to me and are going to save me a lot of time.

 

Ordered Win 7 Ultimate 64 oem off Newegg a week ago and it still aint shipped.....

Standard UPS 3 day...so its probably going to be another week before it arrives... no impressed

 

Probably has to do with the way most PC users (Windows and *nix alike) see the OS as a platform for running programs, whereas Mac users see the OS as an integral part of this "appliance" most people call a "computer".

 

I can't wait haha
probably won't clean install until friday though because of homework
Tomorrow will be awesome

1. Grandparents I haven't seen in 1.5 years are flying up, staying with us for 10 days.
2. Windows 7 upgrade will arrive
3. SGP Anti-fingerprint screenshield for my iPhone 3g will arrive

 

Heh, I know what you mean. That's because for Mac users, an OS is this wonderful and mysterious thing that God, sorry Jobs has given them. And Jobs certainly behaves that way, too...

Absolutely. But in the specific case of Win7, there is nothing really groundbreakingly new. It's Vista 2.0, essentially. Nothing wrong with that, mind you.
