This site has the downloads for windows 7 OS boot disks. I had a hard
time downloading with multiple failures on this 3 gig file. You need
something called a download manager. Of course, I went for free ones.
the first two didn't work. A download manager called "internet
download manager" worked great. Big difference is it can restart after
an interuption, very common on my phone lines.

From there, a neat tip was to run a little zipped application to make
this disk install ANY flavor of OS7. There's a link to this trick on
the above site.

Now i have a boot DVD that can install W7 with any flavor to a dead
'puter. Looks like W7 is here to stay, I'd suggest that everybody do
this BEFORE you're in trouble.

In my case, I'll install to a brand new hard drive in the computer and
have two complete separate boot drives all set to go. I won't do this
till a cold nasty day when I got a lot of spare time. At least with
XP, I found a fresh install speeds everything up like buying a new
machine. bet the same thing happens to 7.

Anyone have a suggested download for XP Pro? Cracked or legit..makes no
difference to me.

My current copy is getting flakey and Im still occasionally setting up
boxes for some folks who cant afford to buy a new computer.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
