Windows Can't wait two more days? Microsoft Technet has a free 90 day trial of Windows 7 Enterprise for your evaluation pleasure. If you've been using the Windows 7 RC, this one is likely to have a bunch of bug fixes, as several bugs have been reported in earlier versions of the Windows 7 RTM that were made available to developers, including a pretty serious CHKDSK bug.

I think the chkdsk bug has been well explained and isn't as bad as you make out.

It is, in fact, not a bug at all. The great memory usage is by design. This article should be corrected ASAP.

Indeed. Bug was in Intel(if I remember correct) drivers that caused BSOD during chkdsk. High memory consuming was new design in chkdsk in order to decrease time that it takes. I feel sad that Osnews editors knowledge of technical details is level of Engadget editor.

Too bad you have to reinstall it after trial expires, since you can't buy enterprise edition. Guess I'll go with OEM when its out..

Do you have to pollute every article related to Microsoft with this bulk Linux advocacy? It is annoying.

OK, sorry. I react very badly to commercial companies trying to rip people off. When it is as blatant a rip-off as Windows 7 in my country, I had to say something somewhere.

I get so angry.
