Windows 7 - Tester Opinions

[Ozzie]

Windows 7 Beta

I encourage all Windows 7 Beta testers to let me know what you think about the upcoming version of Windows.

Your opinions on the new O/S will be helpful to all of us testing the new software.

Windows 7 is not yet a public release and is currently only available to Microsoft partners.

Any screenshots of Windows 7 are welcome for all to view.

I am currently testing the latest build, 6801 and it seems to be as stable as Vista service pack1.
There are many different features in this build as aposed to Vista which i'm still exploring

Looks impressive... but anything would be better than Vista...

XP Pro for me.....

^^ As above, looks just like Vista with a new name to try and sell.
More like another service pack from the screen shots

Yes it looks like vista because I havent yet enabled the aero glass,
Also the new taskbar is hidden in the beta release, I will unlock it tonight and get pics up for yas.
Once the new taskbar is in place it looks nothing like vista except the basic Windows layout

I might have to have a go with it then...a mate has microsoft licenses and gets stuff to test....I must say thou, I like Vista. And I'm running it at the bottom end of the recommendations with just 1gig of ram and on a 2000+ AMD chip.
