Tried out the new Windows 7?

[Clooak]

Hiya!

IM just curious if anyone had tried out the new Windows 7 (beta) yet? If so what do you think about it so far?

For those who wounder where you can get it, it's available through MSDN and maybe Technet not sure

I haven't yet tried it but will as soon as i get my pc back Looks pretty amazing and ive heard they have reduced the startup time to about 15 seconds

i was going to get it but then dont you need to format your PC and install it?? if i can Dual boot with Windows 7 and XP il do that  :razz:
but il looks hectic from what ive seen so far...

I think windows 7 is only available for developers.. If not, can someone give me a link?

[Clooak]

Well thats true only for developers from what I know The public version will be released on 19th January or something.
But for those who has access to it give your opinion about it I would be glad to hear about it before i format

I got the pre-beta I think and it works fine for me. With Vista I had some problems running SA, but now it runs good. Also with starting programs I think it's fast. The only thing I got problems with is shutting off the computer after a program crashed.

I have got the developers version, didnt download it but up got it from Thailand (   )
Anyway, I havnt installed it yet but Im gonna make a partition on my HDD and install it there when I have the time.

Timemachine heh.

Miami, cay you please tell how i can use that "sidebar cpu usage" like you have, i think
there is a special download for that?

I have Windows 7, it runs a lot smoother than Windows Vista and has some cool new features.

[Clooak]

Does it startup as fast as they say? Im gonna install it as soon as i get my pc back from HP which will be in another 8 days or so
They are gonna release some beta keys for those who havent a MSDN nor a Technet account tonight. So be alert only 2,5 million keys will be released

Starting up is faster then XP for me, but note that I don't have that much installed as I had on XP. I always use the sleepmode and that seems to be quicker too.
