Polarman · 11-04-2009, 10:44 PM

Very nice gesture indeed. Way to go!

MadClown · 11-05-2009, 01:47 AM

Bump for Generosity.

mlee49 · 11-05-2009, 02:49 AM

I would like to nominate my Canadian friend, El Fiendo.

He's a dedicated cruncher and folder and has badges to show both.

He is a great online trader and I'm sure many fellow TPU'ers could attest to this.

He's given some great posts across the boards.

He's currently running a Release Candidate and I'm sure he would appreciate a full retail key.

ArmoredCavalry · 11-06-2009, 02:13 AM

The 32 bit key will work to activate a 64 bit version of Windows 7. Just fyi.

crazyeyesreaper · 11-06-2009, 04:35 AM

!!!Solaris17!!!
(Chime the price is right music)

Being a member of TPU! since 2005, and posting 6.10 times a day, it was almost certain that i would have picked him. He has made a few different benchmark programs for XP,Vista and Windows 7. Not only that he did it for free...and for this community. He's also written various guide from anything covering OS optimization to modding graphic cards, not even including guides for the likes of you Linux users; also writing reviews on his own time for this community what more can you ask for? He is a heavy folder and cruncher for TPU! and that says a lot. He has only used the RC version of Windows 7. To me someone who deserves this is someone who will utilize it to its full potential and Solaris17 looks to be it. I am sure with having a Legit fully function copy of Windows 7 will help him fully understand the OS and better optimize it for the likes of TPU!. I think everyone at this forum would like to thank you Solaris17 for helping out as much as you have, as it isn't your job, and you clearly do it for the community. Thanks and enjoy your prize.

crazyeyesreaper · 11-07-2009, 07:54 PM
