The Official Windows 7 Thread vol. BETA is now available

[shatterkneesinc]

Windows 7 Beta is now available online for download. I am using it now as we speak and this OS is what vista should have been, sleeker and faster.

Here is the link for download and instructions.

You can just dual boot it to try it out.

[damnitzvin]

Cool

 

[ravagebx]

I'd give this a try but I can't take any chances, I need my laptop for when school starts back up. Hopefully it will be much more streamline than Vistaand run a little faster.

32 Bit can only utilize 4GB or less while 64 Bit can utilize up to 16 Petabytes I believe it is.....among other things: http://www.softwaretipsan...-64-and-32-bit-processors

Never used Vista. Went from XP to 7. Have to say, it's very nice so far

Not yet.

I backed up all my files, and then did a complete new install (not just an upgrade). So everything is running smoothly so far. I'm still downloading appsand drivers to get the things I need.

I've only been using it for about 3 hours.

 

[dr spaceman]

Damn how are apps compatible? i see you using firefox.

EDIT: NVM, used I.E and its working now.
