Its looking like a seriously good finished product, even in beta stages.

Seeing similar, It is beta so it has issues and a way to go yet and while MS are saying early 2010 release people think just before xmas will see 7 launched. In Either case that is some time to come yet and from what I am reading so far even Linux people are liking windows 7. With some more changes and feedback from customers of which MS seem to be listening over the coming months it holds well that 7 Will be a decent OS and one I will switch too.

Hoping, really am. Read that they are putting a lot of focus on the 64bit version as well, rightly so.

Ive downloaded an official copy of the public beta. Now to decide if its actually worth bothering to burn and install it.

My overall opinion of Vista isnt too high, as you all know, so if I actually like this its probably going to be a miracle on the level of Lazarus.

Please dont hold your breath...

I have installed the beta and had a quick mess about.  My first impression is that its already better than Vista in a beta form lol.

Im runing a 1 gig of RAM P4 2.40Ghz and its running better than Vista is on my mates laptop and thats a dual core processor with 2 gig of RAM.

Simple things like the users folder is much easier, just documents, pictures music and videos.  Not all the crap vista bungged in like contacts and that muck.

If you havr the offical beta and spare hard drive or the space to partiton one, I would chuck it on.

Bah, they ruined IE again and the stupid network and sharing centre is still there.

An integrated one, Not quite just a virtual pc but one thats built in and designed to windows 7 and uses windows 7 rather then just a flat virtual machine.

Been using RC1 for a few days now - no crashes at all.

All my ECU software works - it didnt in Beta

Most of my work utilities work

Well impressed

It crashed when I put the wrong drivers for my wireless when trying to connect (just froze) but a reboot remove and unstall updated drivers it was al sweet. Not had any issues so far either and I really like it. Task bar is finally decent etc.

Only gripe so far (after setting display stuff to 100% not 150% (to big) ) is that it will show open tabs of IE but not firefox.
