Don't listen to Kenny. The download window has a handy link to your games page, where you'll find the CD key ONCE THE GAME IS DOWNLOADED. Because it's on-line, it's even easier: You can paste the parts of the key to the key-entry screen!
This is v. 1.5, and I'm running on Windows 7 64, and the only problems I had were during the opening splash screens: for some reason, ctrl-alt-del-ing made the splash screens run (they would be super-slow, otherwise... like a frame every 3 seconds). The opening intro vid played for me, though, and I was able to access the main menu screen, change the resolution, and start playing the game. The vid problem might have something to do with the fact that I only have onboard graphics...
Speaking of onboard graphics: I need to get a discrete card, and soon (I just built this machine). I can tell that this game would look a lot better once I get a GPU with some muscle. I'm running it at "low", 1280x720, and it shows.
I've seen comments in forums that some users had sound issues, but I've had no problems.
I've played for an hour, so far, and this is quite a different game, for me; I've played RPGs for years, and this just "feels" different. I'll need to get used to the controls, primarily, but the active combat system is something new, too. In all honesty, I jumped right in without reading the manual, so that might have something to do with my experience.
Though I've given this game 5 stars to counter Kenny's blunder, I do have to admit that I would normally give it 4 stars because I didn't just "get" the controls in a few minutes; I like game controls that seem to just become second-nature after a very short while, and The Witcher doesn't have that. The controls are responsive and smooth, but I can tell that I will have to learn them, not just translate old habits to a newer game. (I know this is being picky, but I want to be honest.)
So far, it's enjoyable, and I can tell that there will be a lot of depth to this game. I can already see that I'll need to play it, again, but make different choices.
I've barely begun the game and don't even have a proper gaming system, but I wanted everyone else to know that it downloads and installs just fine to Win 7 64.
As of 11-20-10, it's silly to NOT buy this game for $6...
