Title: Windows 7 Public Beta
Post by: Pureblood on January 10, 2009, 08:27:00 PM
The Windows 7 beta has been released to the public.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7...a-download.aspx (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx\")

I would put it on my laptop but i don't feel like buying more ram for it.

released yesterday to the first 2.5mil downloaders.

You should know that it runs better than vista. It's really like vista SP2 in a sense.

Not worth the time to put it on though. I'm not really a big fan of the 'awesome' bar either.

I was wondering the same thing pureblood.  But there has been some hype about this version.  
I dont think it will be difficult to find 2.5 mil beta testers to test
this new windows.  I think alot of people wanna restore their faith in microsoft.

It might be good, because as paco said, it is pretty much a Vista sp2.
so why not call it vista sp2.  
well, i think its because vista was a real blemish to microsoft, and they wanna phase out that name "vista"

I mean, whats all this "mohave" business.

cheers all.
