Hi Stupid question but I want to know if my passwords will also be sent to the engineers? Or are they safe? Thanks D

Will111112,They are safe, as long as you downloaded it from Microsoft and not from a torrent. And of course don't pick up any malware after installation.

dwolters - Indeed.. All bets are off if someone downloads it from a torrent. Either way - I'm seriously doubting the Microsoft engineers would be on the recieving end of those passwords.. OTHER people... maybe.

Im downloading from the Windows 7 RC download center and will be using Zonealarm, I should be safe?

Will - Yes.. Though Zone Alarm may NOT yet be 100% compatible. Even still, you should be fine - unless you like surfing the shadier sides of the wild and wooly web...

Im downloading from the Windows 7 RC download center and will be using Zonealarm, I should be safe? Additionally, please update Windows7 RC after installation. Thanks.
