    Dual boot activated (or not)?


    Well people, this may be interesting...

    It has come to my lovely attention that when I activated my copy of Windows 7 X64 bit build 7000, my Windows Vista X64 bit (for some weird reason) shows my copy as requesting activation again?

    Has anybody else experienced this?

    well , if that is the case, then I'll proceed with my intention of making my install of Windows 7 X64 the only OS.

    I'm very confident that this beta should give me very minimal problems.
