9. www.Windows7.com - Choose your Edition - Home Premium 32/64 or Pro 32/64 (Supports Virtualization). Our take on the issue? IF you're running a 64 bit CPU & Multi GBs of RAM, get a 64 bit O/S. BTW: Installing Win764 Pro, use ONLY 4 GBs RAM or less during the Install or else get a corrupted Installation! Once installed, then install remaining RAM as so desired. Voila!
10. From Jack Hamilton - Fellow Geeks... If any of you are interested, there is a Windows 7 Launch on November 9. Free Copy of Win 7. Be Advised: "...you must bring photo identification to check-in to this event." Why is Photo ID Required? "The photo ID is required in order for us to confirm your identity and that someone else isn't trying to check in on your behalf." First time we've ever had to prove who we were to attend a Microsoft Meeting. Hmm.
