I know I've warned people of this problem before.

But if you are still running a Win 7 Beta, March 1 it will start rebooting your computer every two hours. I think June 1 it will fail to load.

As a guy who is looking for a job, this sucks. I might have to revert to XP Pro. Or I can "acquire" Win 7. Either way, it's going to suck.

Well, being out of a job, I will attempt to get Win 7 working. f that fails, back to XP Pro. I like Linux but I need MS compatible stuff to run. Mainly games.

Yeah it's a particular annoyance for me since my dvd/blu-ray drive seems to be hosed lately. It's either pick that one up for a optical install of a downloaded copy or buy a legit copy and have no way to install it. hah.

I bought a couple of retail 7 ultimate licenses from a coworker for 40 bucks each. He has a license deal with MS, probably technet subscr.
