Well, I was wrong in my figures. I started the download at 1:45am and it's down to 25 minutes left. Can't figure out why Microsoft was state (PST) if that wasn't going to be a factor.
1 hour 15 minutes to download. That's much better than the beta download was, that took 7 hours.
That is interesting....I have mixed feeling about it...
Just when we thought Microsoft was getting uncharacteristically generous, we got this nasty surprise: that free Windows 7 release candidate Microsoft is giving away to everyone today has a nasty time bomb ticking inside it. Beginning on March 1, 2010, the operating system will begin shutting down every two hours. If you're using one of the beta versions of Windows 7, the hourly shutdown game starts much sooner, on July 1, 2009.
If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.
For some people I've seen complaining about their system problems, the computer shutting down every two hours might seem normal.
I tried to download the dang thang, but the RC Window just sits there....no download. I waited for 15 minutes the other night with no joy. I'll probably just wait for the official release.

I have it installed. Files went to windows old same as it did with vista.
Taskbar auto hide still does work all the time.
Winfast pvr works now, it didn't with 7 beta.
Nero 7 won't install.
Everything else is faster.
