I'm not a subscriber so it's October 22nd for me. =( BTW, how many times can you install the program (when it comes out)? I have a laptop, netbook, and desktop that I would like Windows 7 on and if I can only use it once then I'm not sure about getting it.

Yeah, it's not different to any significant degree compared to the RC. I'm just excited that this is final release.

Thanks for answering my question. Maybe I'll just wait until my school offers it. We're able to order the Vista Upgrade for $12 so hopefully Windows 7 will be as cheap too.

If you get Home Premium, it will allow installation on three computers though, right?

Windows 7 is amazing...all the features of Vista w/the memory usage of a good ol' XP. Perfect combo.

Windows 7 is pretty awesome. Its better than vista and almost on par with compatibily with XP stuff. The eye candy is a plus too.
My school have a partner ship with MS so we can get new OS for real cheap. Vista used to sell for 45 i think

I've been working with multiple windows (20-30 avg) open at any given time since forever. Aero Peek is like godsend in terms of finally a worthwhile solution to open window management.

I've just installed it and I have to say it's quite nice. A lot faster than Vista which is always great. C:

I just found out my school offers Win 7. But I am so comfortable with my Vista right now.. I don't know if I really want to upgrade or dual boot. I know if I dual boot and its stable I will probably never use vista again.
Anyone know if dual booting Win 7 x64 + Vista x86 will be more difficult to undo if I were to go that path?

Shouldn't be too difficult to undo. You'd essentially just wipe out the partition that you wouldn't use, I'm assuming Vista, and remerge the remaining space back to the main partition (Windows 7).
awdark, how do CSULA students get Win 7?! Since I'll be a student there soon.
