now now ladies, kiss and make up. the world has had enough and is pretty informed on the mac vs pc debate, no need for it here

Thats the point - there was no debate. Leopard doesn't know whay system I have (or prefer) but assumes it is a Windows based PC based solely on the fact that I called him/her out.

ok so linux.....

or some other unix based os

either way itll always come down to pc vs mac imo

not because it should but it just will, fact. linux seems to just be a side track in the argument, im not knocking it, i love kubuntu, use it more than windows just about just telling it like it is

I had the same problem as the OP. My searches showed a lot of people had the same problem. I used the same procedure outlined by the OP which solved the problem. It should be noted I was formerly using 64-bit Vista, so the problem is not isolated to users wanting to install 64-bit Windows 7 from 32-Bit Vista. A lot of users are wondering why they did not use the .iso package like MSDN did previously with their release candidates.

A clue, perhaps, to the quality of the decision-making involved?
