Just wait a few hours. It'll be on all the torrent sites.

I grabbed mine last night to avoid this rush... I also have the Install Keys/ Codes.

I couldn't get the download to go further than 512kb last night at 12:30am.

No big deal, though. I won't be ready to install it for another week or two anyway.

The download has taken me about 20 minutes or so.

Been running really well for me so far. XPM is pretty cool, but definitely still needs a bit of work. Shows a lot of promise, though.

I just wish my higher-horsepower desktop machine supported Intel VT, as my laptop has to work pretty hard when I have the XPM running.

I have been running it since the 6th and it is running very well for me.

Overall, I am remarkably impressed with Win 7. Seems to perform considerably better than Vista did on the same hardware. I have one instability issue that is related to my ASIO sound card. The lack of a proper driver being the reason. M-Audio will release a proper driver once the OS is closer to release. I actually might buy it.

Thanks for the md5 sums.
Now I know that my downloads are ok.
Why couldn't MS provide these?

Anyway, thanks!
