    i altered this from another i found on the web, i used one designed for the beta and altered it to make it an RC version it was also 32bit and as i have a 64 bit i changed that. i also added a place to put serials 1 or 2.

    i still have the cdr file if anyone wants it...

    if you pick anything up or have any ideas or your own spin on the design be sure to either edit and post your update or just sugest it and ill se what i can do.

    also note that i have resized it to 75% of an actual dvd cover so i could post it...

    cheers

    I think we're all still wondering why you made a cover for the RC (release candidate) version instead of the RTM (release to manufacturing)

    Windows 7 (like Vista) can be installed from a USB key, so DVD's are sort of out of style. I burned exactly one DVD of a Windows 7 build for my Macbook Pro since they can't boot USB keys, but after that I used my USB key to update it.

    I'd ask for a REALLY TINY version of that to put on my USB key but that might be kind of silly.

    You copy and paste the disk image/install disk content onto the flashdrive. Plug it in your computer and boot from it.

    You mean just copy over the .iso file (aprox 3GB) to the USB flash, or do you have to do something to it first?
