Windows 7 Launch Day!

Published on October 22, 2009 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

Today is the big day! Around the world people are either going to pickup, or waiting for the delivery person to bring theirs to the door. I have talked to many people this morning, and a bunch have received their packages early.

Apparently, there are some big lines in London this morning.

If you are on Twitter, you can follow many of the events today as well at http://twitter.com/mswindows

If you got your Windows 7 box today, post a quick pic and let us know!

I picked my copy up about a week ago from my local PC store... didn't install it until late last night. though. For one, my main rig was in the shop with a mysterious 'non-posting' issue until yesterday afternoon... and secondly, wasn't supposed to be installed until the 22nd anyhow.

I have Win7 installed on all my PC's, even my Netbook. I'm not looking back either. I keep XP and Vista on VM's for work related stuff and that is it.

It's no good waiting for your disc being delivered in the UK, the postal workers are on strike tomorrow

Got an e-mail from MS today to say my disc is posted - ha!.

3 out of 5 here....and ditto with the XP - VM.

May yet experiment with 7 on my lappy ....but it'll possibly be a stretch....small HD and ram....it's a Dell600....

I preordered mine and got it on Friday. Installation took 5 1/2 hours. Maybe I have too many customization and other related programs? LOL Almost 1.1 Million files. Everything works fine. Just trying to figure the relation betwebb the built in themes and Stardock. I feel like a kid with a new toy. YAY

Some of my buddies went to a Microsoft Conference here in Toronto. Steve Ballmer was there and they were passing out free Windows 7 Ultimate. I bought the Home Premium on release day and was pleased to find a 3 licence upgrade called "Family Pack " for an extra $85 bucks...

Woot...

K, I am jealous!!! Well, at least until I get a laptop, which won't be for a few more months yet. Though I love XP...7 looks to be taking its place from what I have seen and heard. Congrats to those of you who have 7, and patience to thouse waiting.
