Heheh - got in from work last night and saw it on Connect. Installed it once this morning and then put on PC-Cillin AV. Ended up uninstalling PC-Cillin as it conflicted with 360 then I lost total network connectivity for everything. In the device manager also appeared new network devices that PC-Cillin obviously had something to do with as it had that name in the device name too.

Reinstalled again this afternoon. Not bad times either. 24 mins for the install, 30 mins to the desktop and 34 mins for everything complete (activated and updated). Not touching PC-Cillin again though

i was surprised when i installed pre-rc1. i was at the desktop in ~18min after booting from the dvd!

yeah ripken i know what you mean, the install process defiantly take advantage of faster systems power now, ~30 minutes for my whole install. that also included office 2007

well back to media player, it crashed again. but this time i'm 100% sure that its my audio driver thats causing the problem...

i had the same problem with windows media player but it was the sound drivers. The ones from windows update would not work so i just loaded the drivers for windows xp and it solved my problem.
