Lots of older hardware here - anyone know of a trial version of Windows 7? I might spring for a new OS, but I'm /not/ spending my hard earned money on new hardware and a new OS when Linux works peachy keen for me. Ditto with Nigel’s comment.

I also want to run my old apps and do not want to throw more money in the MS direction only to be disappointed. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Nigel.

MS discontinued support of it back before Vista. For upgrading to Vista us RT9450 addicts (cut, copy, paste, and scroll wheel on the left side) used a work around using French Inteillitype Pro 5.0 driver. I was hoping MS would offer another free 30-day trial of W7 (upgrade from Vista Ultimate to W7 Ultimate) so that I could install it on a Virtual drive and see if I can get the keyboard to work. Anyone know of a new 30-day free trial offer? Thanks, Kerry The W7 compatibility test revealed that my Microsoft Office Keyboard (RT9450) won’t work with W7.

Try a 3rd time and it will loff and loff at you. (Plus the beta has a built-in expiration date where they expect you to get the RC or full version, the RC comes out tomorrow) no, it extends to 120 days because you can rearm it twice more giving it an additional 30 days.
