Anyone here uses it? Where did you download it from? The LimeWire results are all BS. How is it? When's the official release date, btw?

I had the beta, but I ditched it. Bug's in a beta are one thing, but this was excessive. nicktodd Posted at 7:15 pm on Jan. 11, 2007 well yeah its designed to be more media-oriented, hence the need for high-performance (expensive) computers. at least on the vista suvey MS puts out, there is a question if i think Vista is ready to be released Metkil5685 Posted at 10:50 am on Jan. 11, 2007 January 30, 2007 As for getting or having it, I can't I don't meet the minumin of RAM or HDD. *100th Post :P* evillsloth Posted at 9:42 am on Jan. 11, 2007 for a leak use torrentspy.com and it will be amazing, its just that all u guys have sh*t computers which cant handle it and are in denial :P Spuddlesworth Posted at 11:24 am on Jan. 10, 2007 30th January I think.  If you want a leak, try looking for torrents.

AtomicCactus Posted at 9:19 pm on Jan. 6, 2007 I'm waiting for the summer when it is natively supported by the laptops on the market. Anitri Posted at 8:20 pm on Jan. 6, 2007 I'm not even gonna bother. Too much of a memory hog. Lulu Nobody Posted at 12:22 pm on Jan. 1, 2007 I heard that it's supposed to be released this January, but I don't remember. Sometime this year. Looks good, but I bet it takes up not only a shitload of memory, but probably wouldn't work well on older computers because of the interface and it just seems... clunky. Some of the features seem interesting, but I definitely wouldn't get it for the computer I have right now. It would just crash >_< Most recent 15 of 21 previous replies displayed.
