Clearly you didnt read it right. Saying i have the better version, is saying that i have Ultimate and not Home Premium as Ultimate is a better version of Win7 than Home Premium...I have also been running it since Aug 6th (well a few days later more accurately), just unregistered 'til now ^_^
And I think you didn't phrase that second bit right... it sounds like if I said 'hah my parts are better than yours' (not that I would say that, just to be clear) Sorry, just seemed a bit rude.
No where is there is anything hardware related implied as that would be said by saying i can run it better, run it faster or something along that line. Not by saying i have a better version.
