Windows 7 Beta available for download officially

Windows 7 has many improvements over Vista as far as performance is concerned. The system requirements are fairly low considering that it's newer than Vista.

The development version might not follow this because a lot of times dev versions of software have extra debugging code running to help developers weed out bugs and problems.

 

PC Magazine's headline today is "Windows7 is less of a resource hog than Vista" which implies Windows7 is a resource hog.

 

That is nice, I am looking forward for it tomorrow.

 

That's a matter of one's own opinion. Vista isn't a resource hog on my PC. I built a PC specifically for vista and it runs very well.

If you still have old hardware then you might want to run WinXP, 2000, 98 or a linux distro optmized for old hardware.

 

If you have some free time and aren't concerned about the bugs.. Give it a shot
I like XP quite a bit better than Vista. But this new version may be worth the upgrade.

Looks good, maybe it's time to upgrade (from XP) when it comes out.

 

I looked at the "new" UI - seems like Vista exactly... I was expecting some improvements... bahhh

 

i still love Windows XP

 

Nice, was considering getting the Beta, but last time I got the Beta Messenger it screwed up my computer intensely. Who knows what this thing will do to your computer.

 

I see one problem with Windows 7... it looks just like Vista It's like Vista SP2.
People hate Vista and MS know that so I expect the final version of Win7 to be a different OS from Vista.

 

is the beta only 64-bit?

 

And where can I download it?

 

Using any kind of PC, no matter how fast or slow, does not make anything more or less a resource hog. A hog is one that grabs as much as it can.

 

Cool. I did not like vista - hope this one is gonna be better. Anyone installed the beta already?

 

Well I am very pleased to see their offer Windows 7 for download but I think I should wait for some days as reviews will make way clear as I had bad experience with Vista, so I would be happy to stick with XP at the moment.

 

I read some where that the windows 7 is full of bugs............

 

thanks, For the News.

 

The download was removed after about two hours cause it went down and its return is unknown. Microsoft is incompetent.
