It's supposed to be arriving in a Windows Update at some point.

Re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
What is this ballot screen? I don't quite understand. I just remember reading a few months ago that the EU banned Microsoft from shipping Windows 7 with Internet Explorer preloaded. Mine came with it. :S

Re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
Is the following processor 64bit?



This link seems to suggest it is, http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35562 but when I run the compatibility checker it says I need to install the 32bit version.

Is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks

Re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
So, is it worth the £30 that Microsoft have offered it to me for?
