Only 2.5 million downloads are/were available.


My friend from school works at NetDesk in Seattle and has a copy of x86 that I'm going to pick up from him. He said the iso is only 3.5GB, but the install is 13GB.... not leaving us 16GB guys much room to work with...




Sigh..... wish I had a runcore...

Now that they've updated the MP3 bug, I'd get a torrent version of Build 7000, update the MP3 bug and get a product key sometime in the next few days (not to exceed 30, of course).

The leaked version has performed stellarly for me so far.

Grr my download just loses it after 7 or 8 hundred meg.

Note to Balmer - put it on those Amazon S2 servers - those things rock!
