Windows 7 pre beta...

If this is a sign of things to come, I am impressed! I used vista beta when it came out, and had some trouble with it. But win 7 pre beta feels like an RTM, and not pre beta. My hat off to Microsoft. This don`t mean I am abandoning Linux, but it gives everybody more choice! And the slow to convert corporate world, is more likely to wait fore this, than upgrade to vista... I know firms that still run Win2000... not the most secure thing maybe, but the cost and learning curve puts them off.

I run Win 7 on an old 1,5 celeron M cpu, and 2 gig of ram, and it runs better than vista on it, that's fore sure! Especially because I have a not so great viacrome chip in this laptop, and Vista has double buffering of the windows...
And in about a month the beta will be out to the rest off the world!

Comment by christopher kamens on December 3, 2008 at 9:34am: i have been waiting for windows 7, cant wait till it comes out, If i was impressed with Vista, i am sure impressed will be an understatement when Windows 7 comes out. I am going to buy it as soon as it hits the stores.

So bee patient!!

Comment by PrivateTux (nOObTux) on December 3, 2008 at 7:58am: You can`t try out pre beta, unless you know the right people... Like if you are a journalist, or haven friend in Microsoft that want you to change back to windows on your production system :)

But in January/February there will be a beta 1, and that one you will be able to sign up for.
