Windows 7... DANGIT, I missed the "window!"

dual layer dvd · 08-23-2009, 10:37 AM

I saw on Gizmodo the other day it was the "final" day to download the RC version of Win7 for free; well I decided to stop procrastinating, and download the free trial version, but they had taken it off their website just hours before I visited the webpage...

Is there any way to get Windows7 anymore to use until it comes out to purchase? I have a machine with XP Media Center edition and another laptop with Vista, but really wanted to try Win7.

Thanks!! :)

I don't know if this is frowned on, Deleted It should still activate just fine.

I found a friend with the RC version (build 7100 I think) that is going to put it on a thumbdrive for me; I don't want to do the Torrent thing, I always end up with a virus using torrents.
