Unfortunately the ONLY thing i want to work does not ( Not Microsoft's fault) and that is punk buster on COD 4 or i would have been running the beta as my main os for a couple of months now. Windows 7 beta is more stable now than Vista has EVER been

You won't get PunkBuster support until the OS is released unfortunately.

True enough, but I think I'll wait the extra couple of days and make sure the download doesn't contain any 'extra' programs.

I have just downloaded 'Windows 7 Ultimate x86 RC Build 7100 4866522 TPB' which is build 7100

The person who put the online says it is an untouched ISO. Installed into a Virtual machine and it's running fine. No viruses or anyone issues I can see

Activated fine with the key I have for the Beta version
