Like a lot of folks I'm interested because I still run XP. I think though that I'm going to wait for the regualr release to download.

I feel sorry for you.

6 minutes on my connection.

I wonder if it will screw up my system?

Well, it's RC 1, kona. From the word I hear (my gf's uncle works at MS), they are expecting the release of the actual SP in 2-3 months.

My suggestion is, if you plan on trying it, back up everything (I put all my stuff on my ext. hdd, and copied all my SD files onto DVD...)

I downloaded it but I can't get it to run. Cycle redundancy check.

Hey Cavan1, like I said in reply #1, I'll wait.

I'm really in no big hurray, not going anyplace, and I can wait another 2 or 3 months so they can get the bugs worked out.  

Cycle redundancy check hmmm, yeah I can wait.

Cycle redundancy check.


I had one of those a few weeks ago but I got the pump out of the garage and inflated the tyres and it's fine now

Real good Kosati,   but I knew what ODNT was, I was referring to the "in general" comment that killajosh made. You know, like it works but.......

A word of caution here. I installed the Vista SP1 RC and it was not recognized by my Anti-Virus software (Trend Micro Internet Security 2008).
As with an RC version, it is possible that a similar instance would be encountered with the XP RC.

Fortunately for me, I use Live OneCare (no snickers, please...since I've installed it, I've had no problems outta viruses or spy/malware). No problems with it running. In fact, I have yet to come across a single app that has issues with the beta......
