Windows 7 endless reboot answer evades Microsoft
Microsoft support offers ideas, but some PCs still crippled after upgrade attempt

Computerworld - Users remained stymied today by endless reboots after trying to upgrade their PCs to Windows 7, according to messages posted on Microsoft's support forum.

An answer has yet to be found for all users, who began reporting the problem last Friday after watching the upgrade stall two-thirds of the way through the process. Most users said that their PCs had displayed an error that claimed the upgrade had been unsuccessful and that Vista would be restored. Instead, their PCs again booted to the Windows 7 setup process, failed, then restarted the vicious cycle.

Several Microsoft engineers, including the company's senior group manager for Windows supportability, have offered advice, but on Monday users continued to publish complaints on a growing forum thread.

Well they have had their beta testing and now as it has been released they have started the idiot testing..... The beta was downloaded mostly by enthusiasts and they had very little problems, now it is available to the average PC user and they will have problems....
