Windows 7 Release Date.

Hello GCHunter and Welcome to Windows7forums..

I can understand your frustration.. Waiting for drivers is a huge pain in the a$$ for sure.. Let's just hope the manufacturers don't take as long this time as they did with Windows Vista..

Like the new look radenight Yes let us hope the driver issue is resolved quickly and without fuss .
Also software manufacturers get into gear and run up some updated software to replace none windows 7 compatible software

Thanks my friend.. I have to keep searching though as this pic is a little too big..

I agree, the list of apps that simply will not work on Windows 7 is growing.. I too hope replacements are released sooner then later..

I remember Zone Alarm had to wait for ages before they got around to making that compatible with Vista !
That was really bad , just hope we dont have repeats now with Windows 7 .

I gave up on Zone Alarm years ago as it turned into bloatware and a lot of headaches. It doesn't fare that well in tests either Results and comments - www.matousec.com 64 bit firewalls are pretty limited. I'm using Comodo running in compatibility mode for Vista SP1

Indeed it is..

Thought it was worth mentioning - students have been able to DL/install the RTM for a few months now through MSDNAA. Im running RTM at the moment, and the only advice i have is to watch how you do the install - if youre going to want to format the drive that had RC on it, you must do that BEFORE the install of RTM - windows will lock you out of the format function after that due to issues with the MBR. Obviously you can boot linux briefly and force a format, but you run the risk of totaling your MBR and forcing a full reinstall of your system (again)

Windows 7 Upgrade Pro version spotted at Walmart tonight (OCT 18, 2009 @ 22:30).
However, it was not obviously on the right shelve and had no price but there was total of 3 retail boxes wrapped up in retail spider web. To see pictures see:
