So if I have say a copy of XP installed and upgrade, what happens if I need to reformat for example, do I need to install XP each time?
Sorry if this is a bit on the noobish side, never bought an upgrade version before!
with a hundred million people downloading at once, I reckon it will be more like Sunday before the download finishes
By the way I made up the hundred million, but its going to be a lot of people however you look at it.

pity you cant pre-order
I'm hoping to get it at work on Friday on the fibre, so hopefully it won't be too busy/overloaded! Can't be doing with waiting for it to download on my 1Mbps connection :/
Download manager, purchase at midnight and leave. I can't see it taking to long, few hours.
On the RP the only problem was getting to the downlaod link, once you got the link, it downloaded fine.

A. Taking one look, seeing "something different" and running away.

Metro has a minimum resolution requirement, doesn't work on 1024x600 (many netbooks have this as the max res)
Worth checking before buying!
windows boffin said:Looking at the data about devices in the marketplace today, we see that only 1.2% of active Windows 7 users have screens with a resolution of less than 1024x768. When designing a new platform that supports the devices of today and tomorrow (with undoubtedly higher resolutions) we optimized for the majority of today’s screens (i.e. 98.8%) without sacrificing the experience and complicating the developer story for legacy screens.
