Installing now. Downloaded the Vista Beta when it arrived a few years ago, and was pleasantly surprised. Hoping the same will happen with this.
you can upgrade from vista to windows 7 by fresh installation on same drive. Going back is not possible. Its working for me.. please try again.
I heard people actually think Windows 7 is already better than Vista! Anyway, I did a blog post about it today Windows 7 Beta Released

I don't like Vista (switched back to XP), hope this new one is better then Vista But i don't want to try it now
I am pretty impressed. I gave this a try on my Acer Aspire One with 1 GB ram, Intel Atom 1.60 GHz, 160 GB hard drive, 128 MB shared graphic card. I can run aero style and everything in windows 7 with no problem, so I get the sexy look and feel, FASTER THAN XP!!! It uses very little ram too and is lightweight I am super impressed, great job Microsoft. I am not putting windows 7 on my main Toshiba laptop with 4 GB ram because it is a beta, and it expires on august 1st and I will lose all my data, will put windows 7 on my main laptop when Windows 7 is officially released.
Now Microsoft is giving away free key, which can be used unlimited times to activate your windows 7.

Thanks for the links and CD-Keys and etc. Will be testing on a Virtual Machine and maybe installing it on a different Hard Drive partition. Downloading at 1275 Kb/s
Go ahead and install windows 7 beta. If Microsoft releases Beta 2, or RC versions of windows 7.. just install over the current windows 7. Your other OS won't be messed. Just remember to install windows 7 on a separate disk drive.
Windows 7 Information Product keys, Download links can be found on the link above, Some sites posted links up before the ms servers were ready to handle the load, Windows7info has lots of useful info regarding windows 7. 32bit & 64bit versions available Windows 7 ultimate. Only 2.5 million copies available for download so you will need to be quick if you wish to test.
I just put a 64-bit registration key into my 32-bit on accident but it still activated. Seems to be running fast but OS doesn't look that special. I'm not 100% into the new task bar but may like it once I get used to it.
1) Windows 7 has a bug in WMP12 due to which it can corrupt your mp3 files Install this update after windows 7 installation. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961367 2) The best place to find drivers for Windows 7 is Windows Update. If you are unable to find a driver for Windows 7 then you can install Windows Vista driver in compatibility mode, like this: Right click on the Driver Setup file -> Compatibility -> Windows Vista
As its a beta version and there is no official technical support available, it should not be installed on the main pc. Install it only if you have a spare pc. I have read the faq and it seems that the beta version will have a lot of bugs.
