    LOL. Anyway, this is doing great! Keep on voting. Also, Microsoft had released a BETA of windows 7 for free download. But they discontinued the BETA release. Does anyone know another URL I can download it at? Legally?

        I would have done all the other variant's but I don't know the names. Just tell me them and I'll add them.

        Get the RC (better than the beta) from the Official Micorsoft web site here:

          From what I've gathered you don't need a beta to install the RC.

            Thanks for confirming what I thought computeruler. ;)

            I'll be getting the RC in a few days here myself. Until now I've been using the beta.
            I think the M$ web site said the RC was available to June.

              I can't exactly vote here since my favorite O.S. so far has been FreeBSD.

              And you've also listed several flavors of windows while only listing Linux as "Linux".... when Linux has far more flavors than windows.

              You can not even upgrade from windows 7 beta to windows 7 RC without hacking one of the files that comes with windows 7 RC so you don't need beta at all.

              This doesn't make sense...
              There is no upgrade path......
              It needs a clean install.
              They never planned an upgrade path and anyone who is trying to hack it to death is doing an awful lot of work for nothing.
