![]() Windows 7 is faster on my mini 1010...
Windows 7 is also faster on my old Inspiron 1300, and plays video/DVDs without delaying... Inspiron 1300n|1GB RAM|60GB HDD|DVD+RW|GMA 900|1280x800 Both run with Windows XP Home SP3 + Windows 7 Ultimate RC dual-OS. |

![]() Just to be clear, as far as I can tell by reading around, the only way to use Win 7 beta, at this point in time, is the 30-day x 3 trial/no key method? Or is there another way to activate it? It seems like expiration/activation is not an issue for anyone around here.
I slimmed it (vLite), and installed it, and it was beautiful, but I had to replace it with XP. There are some nice W7 themes for XP, but I wonder how they effect memory.

![]() I heard about that too, thanx. I guess what I meant was, is the triple trial method the longest way to keep W7 up and running, or is there a way to keep it going indefinitely, or at least until the retail release?
Personally, I cant get comfortable with W7 knowing it's going to fizzle in a few weeks. Everyone here using it just doesn't mind that fact? Or is there a better way? BTW, there will be a new season of Futurama next year. Finally! Currently only running XP SP3 Samsung SE-SO84B Slim USB DVD-Multi (recommended!)

![]() W7 retail release is on 10/22/09. The longest way to keep W7 RC up and running would be to use one of the publicly-available activation keys which run until June 1, 2010. After that date, nothing will work.
Many of us here are using fully activated RTM versions through Microsoft TechNet.

As zrtom said, many of us have TechNet subscriptions so we already have valid RTM keys and full activated installations. |
