Good news: if you're forced to buy a Windows Vista computer in the later half of the year, Microsoft will upgrade you for free to Windows 7, with versions syncing up (Home Premium to Home Premium, etc.)

Bad news: it's optional to OEMs, so not everyone will be participating. And while it's a pipe dream, there's still sort of the resentful residue of a feeling that given Vista's epic crumminess, Microsoft should be upgrading everyone to 7 for free anyway.

You will see more info on it and FAQ.

I have Windows 7 RC too, so basically we have less than a year to buy a full version or will we have to pay to upgrade?

If you have more than 1 PC then you can install it, also you need proper driver for webcam or wouldn't display in Windows 7.

You would have wait until last release when many bugs are iron out.
 
How I can report to MS so manually? I cannot get report to MS because ask me for solution.

I already report to Nvidia and wait to get hear from them.

Nathan, what's kind of PC that you use Windows 7? Do you use GeForce video card?

I am using 32 bit for Windows 7 :)

Oh, I guess that I could try to install 32 bit of Windows 7 but won't take advantage of full 4 GB RAM.

I use 32 bit of Windows 7 for MacBook Pro and enable the Aero theme, no problem so far.

Yup, it does like in Vista.

For Vista, when I use 32 bit and there's no network issue but when I use 64 bit, there's network issue that haven't solved by MS for very long time.

32 bit and 64 bit has different written on bugs.
 
I got email from Nvidia and gave me a instruction about install in safe mode, I will try it.
