Windows 7 Beta Now Available

Windows 7 is Windows Vista SP2. Sure it forces you to use the Vista style start menu and the new taskbar, its still in essence Vista. There is some low level programming improvements, but its not a full rewrite and merely attempts to use all this extra time to keep drivers going. I'm hoping for better driver support and more optimization. But I won't hold out for too long.

I dont understand why so many people complain about vista. Iv been using it for almost a year now and havnt had a single problem with it.

I've used it since the day it was made available, and it's been great so far. A lot of the annoyances I encountered with Vista is now gone, and it feels a lot faster. The new taskbar is very nice when you get used to how it works. I will definitely be getting this when it's released.

Windows 7 is just Vista with a new taskbar, memory management, designed to let it run better on netbooks.

I'll be telling people to skip this one too.

Hm... It definitely looks better than Vista. I'll have to finish checking it out before I decide to get it when it's released, though.

Let's hope it's not... phail...
