Windows 7 Important Information!

With the news that Windows 7 has been Released to Manufacturing (RTM) I thought it'd be best to quickly mention a few important bits of information.

  • Windows 7 in the UK will not come with Internet Explorer 8, due to EU regulations. You are advised to download a web browser to a USB drive or obtain a copy on CD before installing Windows 7. The edition without a web browser is called: Windows 7 E.
  • As Internet Explorer is not included with Windows 7, upgrades from Windows XP or Vista is not possible and Windows 7 must be a clean install.

Volume licence customers will be able to purchase Professional and those with Software Assurance, Enterprise Edition.
