trying to download Windows 7 RC, but Microsoft’s downloader ActiveX isn’t cooperating
[2009-08-05 01:27] @bry_bibat I forgot I had firefox. I only tried with IE and Chrome
[2009-08-05 07:46] will now attempt to install Windows 7 RC on the laptop. Hope it doesn’t break!
[2009-08-05 10:28] upgrade complete! That took longer than I expected

gudluck… sir roy, yan ba yung acer na binili mo last year? balitaan mo ko kung ok sya… hehehe
Roy Tang
Yep, same laptop
Dennis Garce
nice… feedback na lang… wahehehe
Roy Tang
Upgrade complete na. Smooth naman.
Dennis Garce
ok naman ung mga drivers?
Dennis Garce
as in upgrade na lang ginawa mo? di ka gumawa ng 2nd partition?
Roy Tang
Yeap, straight upgrade lang.
Roy Tang
Everything seems to be working smoothly. Haven't tried any games yet though.
Dennis Garce
oks. thanks sa info… isip muna ako kung upgrade din ako… hehehe
Roy Tang
Ang caveat lang…apparent ly one-way yung upgrade, there's no way to go back to the previous vista installation unless you backed it up before. I backed up my data, but I can't find my vista backup from when I first purchased the laptop, so I need to figure something out when the release candidate expires in march :p
Dennis Garce
bili na lang… wahehehe…
Dennis Garce
may pang system backup yung acer na software nyan… i did mine… now im thinking of trying it out… or ill just get one of my mom's pcs to experiment the new os…
Roy Tang
yeap, nisystem backup ko na sya dati pa, nde ko maalala san ko nilagay yun disks =/
Dennis Garce
yun lang… hehehe… gudluck sa hunting…

@pluish if you have a legal copy of vista, the upgrade to the release candidate is free until march (after that, it will start nagging me)
