Yes, they should, but nobody would know with 100% certainty until MSFT releases these at MSDN or TechNet.
Nothing. Same installer files, same installation, same everything. You can install using an OEM disc and input a Retail key and vice-versa. The ONLY difference is the licensing agreement (Retail entitles you to tech support, and entitles you to move the OS from computer to computer).
lol, i meant 5 min left Successfully installed x64 Ultimate SP1 from scratch, activated and seeding again I'm glad the wait is over! Now finally off to bed... Have fun everyone!
Okay. Here is a 7-zip package of all the torrents that I could find (30 torrents): multiupload.com/25NGU5YRSK MD5 of this 7-zip file: 778a0ce763b646dcfa33315eee692d4e Unfortunately, Professional, HPx64 and Starter are missing--they simply don't exist on the Wzor website, so my guess is, he simply doesn't have them. But, really, none of this matters. Just download Ultimate/Retail and use the "eicfg_removal_utility" found at code.kliu.org/misc/win7utils to get the other editions. There is no need to get the discs for the other editions: you will simply be slowing everything down by spreading people into too many different torrents. An interesting note: see the creation timestamps on these torrents? Wzor created these torrents days ago and had been sitting on them all this time (you're right, SoLoR!). And that's just the torrent creation time--he's probably had the actual ISOs for even longer.
I think other way around, cuz you can't use OEM on different computers. However I assume its best to activate your PC using an OEM key rather than a Reatail key. But its better to buy a retail key than a computer that comes with it OEM, know what I mean.
No. An OEM license is much cheaper: You get no phone support. You do not have the right to transfer the license to a different computer (activation support will let you if you have a Retail key, not if you have an OEM key). But that's just the license agreement. OEM and Retail are identical in every other way--same bits, same functionality, same everything. The only difference is the interaction that you get when you pick up a telephone and call Microsoft.
will they ask you for your product key or something? cuz if they don't how do they know what your license is?
ok. thank you for explanation. (_ _) Time for download and testing it. BTW My memory is 2 GB. could me use 64 bit O/S?
There are other thing to take into consideration such as cpu (64 bit support or not). But the minimum suggested RAM for x64 is 2GB.
Hmm not sure.Will have to test i guess.Imagex isn't updated btw.Some DISM files were updated but not DISM.exe itself which is odd(do we use the 7601.17105 DISM or the RTM DISM?) Also language pack integration guides tell you to extract setup and sources folders from the lp.cab but with these langpacks there are both the setup,source and sp1 folders.The sp1 folder again contains both setup and sources.Confusing :S Anyway...15min to go.Then will have everything i need.
arghh these speeds suck. i have a 50m connection and im getting like 4kbs. the oem versions are going much faster the retail versions are slow as crap...
anybody know if its possible to get dazloader ran during installation? of the new sp1 intergrated? also i updated DHT/tracker and now im downloading at 700+
I am working on integrating all 36 langauges right now... I am doing it the Dell way... not packing the lp.cabs into install.wim, but rather just copy all of the language packs straight from the language pack dvd into \langpacks... this is faster to do and makes no difference in installer speed or use all you do different in lang.ini is use <language> = 0 instead for each language you are putting in you need to add-package the winpe-fontsupport*.cab files also or you can't select japanese/chinese/korean during the initial boot time language selection
