Want Windows 7 for FREE?! NOW?!?!

Until July, Microsoft will be giving away Windows 7 Release Candidate 1 for all of you die-hard Windows Early Adopters. Not only that, but this version of Windows will run for up to 13 months! June 1 2010 is the expiration date on this puppy.

For those that are considering thing due to issues with Vista - Yes, Win7RC1 DOES Eliminate alot of issues you are experiencing with Vista. Win7RC1 DOES NOT:
  • Alleviate the problem of old programs that don't run on Vista - This will still very likely be a hurdle to be dealt with. Our services can help you with this in some cases.
  • Make your OLD PC a viable platform to run Win7. Sorry but if your PC is 3 years or more old its unlikely that Win7 is for you.
  • Run Trouble Free. Our testing so far in-house indicate that Windows 7 is a very strong platform and will run very well for you on even low memory base conditions (we tested with a limited video card profile and only 900mb of ram - still ran fine. Vista would have puked.) HOWEVER! Win7RC1 is just that - Release Candidate! That means theres always a possibility that there is a bug, and that Microsoft will not fix it...
All this aside, I think theres a good option here to be had for quite a few enthusiasts as well as those trying to save some money and their minds from Vista issues. A full clean install is required for Windows 7, so don't expect to have a quick turnaround and be prepared to re-install EVERYTHIN, from Quicken to Photoshop, theres no reasonable way to move any installed-type programs from XP,Vista or whatever you have to Windows 7.

As of today Nvidia, our favorite video card manufacturer, has released a new video driver for Windows 7 to support the Release Candidate. This makes the new Win7RC1 a clear trial OS for those seriously in need of replacing Vista.
