Windows 7 PRo 32 + 64bits = Retail
Windows 7 Ultimate = Release Canditate

[Freeko]

I just got accepted and plan on downloading either XP or 7 and partitioning my MBP. The windows 7 64bit pro download isn't the official retail version is it? Basically I'm debating downloading XP and waiting until 7 is officially released to download and upgrade, but if it's the official retail version I'll just download 7. Which should I dew, halp!?

This was a leet find btw, thanks <3

*edit* The reason I'm partitioning my Mac is for gaming, such as FFXI and CounterStrike (and what have you), if that helps with answering the question.
*double edit* And how do I go about installing it?! Just realized it's a download not a physical copy, is it possible to partition with a download?

Sorry for all the noob questions, thanks for reading.

Seems they are working today as i got my email with the pass and login to download software.

Same, I just got my link as well. Gotta say, I'm pretty happy I spent 20$ for this goldmine.

It's not the release candidate, they stopped distribution of that awhile ago. This is the RTM (releast to manufacture) version, which is the full version minus some patches and drivers they are still making for final release. This will keep working forever.

I signed up the other day and they still haven't approved me. My login is working and everything but I get this under my services.

Am I doing it wrong?

Does this work if I already graduated from college ? Can I make something up like getting another degree ect.

They do not approve acess on weekends, I recieved my acess today after signing up on friday.

They are probably getting all the people that signed up friday, and working thier way through everyone who signed up over the weekend.

[Mayareira]

Signed up as well, waiting for approval.

Man this is awesome.

Yeah just enter some college and degree, they don't do a check. Make sure you opt in for the Developer Academic Alliance

[Mayareira]

About the legal issues...You have to be a High School, Undergraduate or Graduate student and use this for academic purposes to be eligible for this program. You keep the licenses after you graduate.

They don't do any checks but non-students would technically be violating EULA....which is not really too different from torrenting it

[AzazaelFenrir]

just a question but when signing up would it be safe to assume that actual name and address are ok? Or are you guys not using that?

[Mayareira]

Yeah, its ok. As far as I know they also send your membership card to your address.

edit: account confirmed in 2 hours...now waiting for payment to be processed.

Writing from my fresh Win7 Pro
I must say the installation process was quite painful lol. Seems it has problems with certain motherboards or something. I have a Gigabyte MB and I hate to switch the SATA controller (from orange to purple, since there are 2) to it install finally or else it would get stuck at the "Completing installation". I also heard that other people had to do things like uplug all USB devices or turning on AHCI in bios to get past that thing.

[Khalil]

Their process take awhile for some reason. It take 24 hrs for my payment to go through and I paid it at 8am on a weekday.

[Vandole]

did mine saturday at like 2 in the morning. still getting

[SamanosukeShiva]

they dont work @weekend, wait 1-2 more days because they're doing them manually

[Xfaustx]

This is annoying, I went to download the file for Windows 7 64, and the downloader file is an .exe so my Mac cant open the downloader file to even download the OS. What the shite, anyone know an ISO I should use or am I just dumb and doing something terribly wrong?
