Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default.aspx
And at the top there's "Download Windows 7 Beta", its a 404 NOW, BUT it will be put up VERY SOON.
I might dual-boot it.
-
I might download it and install it on my external HDD, but I'm still happy with XP :D
-
Why would you even want it? I oh so wish I could move over to linux for everything. @_@

Wasn't Vista meant to be much better than all the previous OS's?
-
7 uses twice as less resources as to Vista.

and it is.... Sooooo much better than XP and such. :)
-
I use Vista on my lap top, and XP on my desktop. I do like my vista better.
-
twice as less
Umm.. What? :o
-
And watched it get delayed for 10 years.

resources

Yeah I've just never heard the words 'twice as less' used before. It doesn't really make sense. Do you mean half as much? :lol:

You should see neowin, there are posts flying into the windows 7 beta download link thread.
-
So who downloaded it? They removed the 2.5million cap, now you have 2 weeks. I'm on it now. Any questions anyone, want me to post screenshots or something?
-
yah, post screen shots
-
Ok, I'll post screenshots:
Here's the preview of all the programs and windows that are open (this part is abit like vista but with cooler animations):

Looks good, but I think I'll stick to what I have for the moment.
-
There are lots of features which you cant explain in screenshots, you just have to try it to see it. Such as aero shake. Shake one window, the rest minimises. The traffic was grand when downloading, they removed the "only first 2.5million people get to try it", so you have to 2 weeks if you want it. The licence expires August first, but RC version will be out by then. Then I'll get the real version for free because of MS Ireland TechNet. (I got Vista free)
-
I have one question, when you install the beta, does it overwrite your current version of windows? This would mean that you lose everything you had on the previous version and would have to redo everything. Is this a problem?

Well you can upgrade from vista and still keep all your files.

does the beta act like the actual released OS that is going to come out? if so, better download it in time for summer on my new computer; free MS OS! :p

It may be set to automatically expire after a certain date, such as the planned release date.

It expires August 1st, but before that date happends, there'll be a different, newer version to download. And then another version. And finally, if you're lucky enough to be invited to your national technet meeting for beta testing 7, you can get the full thing for free(thats how I got a free Vista copy).

:o me will kill for a full version of windows 7 during summer; looks like a replacement to XP as oppose to the filler vista :roll:
-
Windows 7 is faster than Vista and XP in almost every way. And it will be out somewhere near the end of 2009.
-
I'd rather wait till the Beta is over. I prefer a slow, stable XP rather than one iffy one.
-
According to the reactions of beta testers, this is the most stable beta. (check out neowin.net/forum)
-
It's still a "Beta". :lol: With lots and bugs in it. Even when it is released, there will be bugs. Nothing is bug-free. Only bug-less or bug-more

Well its DEFINATLY bug-less than the vista beta was.
-
Well anyone who didn't download it, you can can download it until February 10th.

I was going to, but I'll wait for the actual release. Some other sites might offer it [might not be legal] way after that date. It took 2 1/2hrs for me to download - waste of time, but worth it. Though I don't use it, it still has a nice concept. :)
