:lol: :lol:

I speak to you for the first time from my ASUS P5Q Deluxe/E8400.. the rebirth of which was rather less of a chore than I expected. With the manual being the equivallent in size to a slightly smaller version of a SrewFix catalogue and all in English, I'd reached the CBA stage pretty soon on (as one would expect) :lol: Anyway.. while all this burble might seem off topic.. I was surprised to find during one of the many 'new hardware found' moments that the system had suggested a Win7 driver for me to load. Now then.. if Win7 came already installed on a motherboard, I'd be as happy as a sand boy but as this doesn't yet happen.. I'm a little miffed. Whatever it is still sits with an exclam (or worse) next to it :worried:

Anyway.. that's the only 'toe dip' into the latest version I'm planning in the near future :lol:

Amazon are a little tardy in letting you know:

And Win7 will network with previous Windows versions. It's just easier if they are all using Win7 since there is a "Home Group" that can be set up with the same code. I don't know about that yet since I only have one PC on Win7 RC1 which talks to XP PCs.

Thanks, Ian. Amazon never did send an email to let me know that it was available 8) , but I checked just after I posted and found it. At a discount, too! So I await the Postman's pleasure ... Image

Fortunately there's no urgency :lol:
