Installed it under 15 minutes. I was able to connect to my wireless network without any drivers, WOOT! Loving it so far. Just installing everything back on. :)

Having used various builds since 6801, I can say I am totally in love with it and will no longer be going back to XP (that and x64 xp is awful).

It will be interesting to see the reports and what not after release, in comparison to Vista/ XP what not.

Yeh it was such a quick download.

Mine took 20-25minutes to download.

But that was because I had to boot it from the CD/DVD drive - as I went from 32 to 64bit. It tok a fair amount of time to load it to let you install :D

You don't go from "32 bit to 64 bit", you're performing a clean installation.

If your 'supposed' to receive it tomorrow, you might not get it until next week because of the postal strike?

Technically you are downloading information to your HDD

Wrong :P

Quote:

To transfer data from one computer to another. Downloading usually refers to transfer from a larger "host" system (especially a {server} or {mainframe}) to a smaller "client" system, especially a {microcomputer} or specialised peripheral, and "{upload}" usually means from small to large. Others hold that, technically, download means "receive" and upload means "send", irrespective of the size of the systems involved. Note that in communications between ground and space, space-to-earth transmission is always "down" and the reverse "up", regardless of size. So far the in-space machines have invariably been smaller; thus the upload/download distinction has been reversed from its usual sense.

Surely it is uploading? You upload pictures from a camera to your computer for example.

Well then.

But seriopusly, why are some rejects (name begins with an S) being so picky?

Does it matter if somebody says uploading/downloading/installing?

Sorry to hurt your feelings Stephen.

He wouldn't be hurt for someone saying the wrong term. He was correcting you because the way you said it is incorrect. Because you are installing not "Downloading" so please do not be so rude about it when someone is telling you the right answer.

I does matter. This is a tech forum and the correct terminology should be used

Since you are being picky..

My word :O

Also, mine is done through that student offer thing, though whether or not it works is a mystery, considering I had to change my address because it looked dodgy (had to cancel, then re-do it, which seems to of worked). Have to wait till tomorrow sometime to see though :/ No money has been taken out yet!

Where did you buy it from? I know places such as PC World, Dixons etc asked Microsoft if they was allowed to send it early to beat the postal strike and most copies were sent out two days before. Amazon sent my copy a day early via CityLink. :)
