The windows 7 beta is going to be released tomorrow to the public. The beta is for the first 2.5 million people to download it. The problem is that you will need to be running Windows Vista SP1 as this is an upgrade. That counts me out. Head on over to the Windows 7 website to get it if you have vista that is. It goes online at 12 PM noon PST.

Yup, it's an open public beta which means that everyone can get it. head to www.microsoft.com/windows/windows7 and there is a link there. It's really awesome I'm using it right now.

I know I love it. Everything about it is fantastic and this is just the beta. I would highly recommend everyone try it. Better than XP by heaps.

how big is the installation file and how long would it take to install? and i thought this isn't the final version-isn't windows 7 meant to be released later this year? and does it require more system requirements than xp?

Um, the file you download is about 2 gb and it has the same requirements as vista.

u serious????? it has the same requirements as vista?? but i thought that vista uses up too many requirements which causes it to slow down or something-ie. apparently it uses up heaps of ram
