a 3-pack of upgrade discs? lol | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list. OS XP, Seven, 2008R2 CPU AMD, Intel, VIA Motherboard Various Memory Corsair, Kingston, etc. Graphics Card ATI, NVIDIA Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Keyboard qwerty Hard Drives Maxtor, Western Digital Internet Speed 22 Mb/s @ home, 1 Gb/s @ server Other Info All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality. |

Probably wouldn't been able to sale them. It looks as there just stored there until Oct. 22. The Walmart close to us also had them on a shelve, so I asked the salesperson when they were available for sale, and she indicated not until Oct. 22, and didn't know what the sale price was going to be though she did say they had all the different version in the back room. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion a4302f OS Win 7 Pro x64, VM Win XP, Win7 Pro Sandbox, Kubuntu 11 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 @ 3.0 Gbz Memory 12GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB, 2x2GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 4350 HD Graphics/Audio with 512MB Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 1.

Do you think they will time the shipment so pre-ordered disks arrive Oct 22? If not, when do you think?

Jones'n here! Depends on who you pre-ordered from.
Some pre-orders are already showing up within the last week or so. Others might not actually ship 'til the 22nd, if not even later. But supposedly MS was letting some things start shipping the last week or so so that they'd arrive by the 22nd at the latest. Just depends on from whom and where yours is coming from. | My System Specs | | Windows 7 spotted at Walmart 3 days before release date problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:50 AM. |  |
