I'm getting it at 1.74MB/sec, I am going to clean install and see if some of the annoying little bugs have been fixed.

 

[windude99]

It is being written to my usb flash drive now! I'm getting closer to installing it.

Don't forget that, if you plan on installing from a USB stick (as I am), then you will need to convert (extract) the .ISO file(s) before copying them over. The best tool I've found for this purpose is ExtractNow - Extract multiple archives easily The USB sticks can be prepared in exactly the same way as for Windows 7 (and Vista) - see USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create - Windows 7 Forums for instructions.

Sweet. On its way down...........

 

[Dwarf]

Hopefully, with this release MS have ironed out some (preferably all) of the bugs. The main one of these being, in my case, the tendency of the graphics driver to stop responding with a purple screen and probable automatic reboot (only happens in Windows 8, both Vista and Windows 7 are unaffected).

I used the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool: http://images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe
