I always buy the stuff I use, it's just so much less hassle.

Very true, but the kicker here is that someone compromised their trust agreement with MS and upload Windows 7 to BitTorrent. All just to feel cool most likely.

I sound like I only buy stuff as i don't like hassle lol, obviously there is the fact that I appreciate someone has worked hard on something and deserves to be paid for their work if I benefit from it.

I know people that download a lot, don't we all? and all I hear is the quality is crap, the sound doesn't work, i got a virus, I cannot update. Buy it and then enjoy it in its fullest.

Rant over... I get that this is not out yet and that is the appeal aside from the freebie.

Yep that's the appeal .... to get a sneak preview. Anyone contemplating using a pre- beta release for anything serious, must be 2 biscuits short of a packet

Straight up, I don't use torrents and never will- Way too many risks and down-sides to them!

I'll purhcase everyhting I view, listen too or play or use over-all; Photos, muisc, videos, software, operating systems, movies etc

Listen be learned, anything that's free has some consequence behind it!

TBH cheesepuff, saying beta's suck et all, is a bit of a misnomer. Beta softwares are 99% ready most of the time, and Alphas are not supposed to be good.

The Wndows live suite has loads of betas, I use them and never have any problems.

Google mail and all their suite is a 'beta'. Does that suck as well?

Almost all of the Google services are still beta.

The good thing about beta is that your complaints are logged and usually acted upon. No beta, no proper complaint system
