the Windows 7 beta is coming out tomorrow for customers to test and try out tomorrow afternoon! im gonna get the beta for it! what about u guys?

I'm not aware of this, so explain.

I don't care I dislike the microsoft politics with their OS, but I think if we have the programs compatible with Linux / Mac without to use windows as a secondary system ore use the wine emulator I want to use an other OS instead of windows ...

@sx... here. this article should help u understand!

All i can say is i agree.

Uhm, ok... You know that all companies are like Microsoft right? MS is just doing 'it' on a bigger scale . Anyways, you should look into ReactOS. It might interest you.

As for me, this is awesome news, my plan to skip Vista is coming together

Yes I know ReactOS but it's far to be completed .... I tried id it with my bochs emulator ^^ thanks for the tip anyway.
I think like you about vista, just skip it even if I want more to skip the windows OS

I have to agree with you about the companies but like you said MS make it worse than the others, I hope I don't put a bad post by saying I dislike the MS politics :/

Woot, skip Vista and Windows 7.

Windows 7 will be my next OS it seems.

Perhaps one could say that Vista is WinME 2.0.

As for Microsoft's politics, they display a typical company trying to make money from their products.
Though I do admit Microsoft have made bad decisions before to enforce software/technology onto people. And remember the disaster that was WinME?

If I were you I would put their past on the shelf and look forward to Windows 7, because the articles I've read show fantastic features. Like the ability to turn off babysitting COMPLETELY, and many of the programs that normally come with Windows (IE, WMP, etc.) will be optional, and not to mention that Win7 is kicking both XP's and Vista's ass in most benchmarks.

This isn't much to go by but is enough to get me excited.

@bjossi. good point, but, u MUST HAVE windows vista and SP1 installed on a computer to upgrade to windows 7!

32-bit XP is also valid as far as I know.
But anyone can still buy Windows 7, the upgrade is just a coupon of some sort.

hmm. ok, im gonna get the beta 2morrow afternoon when it comes out! Id like to see how well it will do when playin games!

Since it is a beta, expect the test to be a bit bumpy.

I will expect it to be bumpy since it might be bumpy!

You don't know if it is bumpy until you try it.

i edited that post by the way. yeah, ive heard windows 7 is just gonna be a rehashed vista, but, idk about that!

They hardly wrote Win7 from scratch, we'd not see it before 2012 if that was the case.

Vista does have the same reputation if you ask me. It's the alpha of Windows 7, so it can be hardly called decent. I wonder what answer the Vista fanboys have on this release.

All I gotta say about Vista is that a good portion of the complaints about Vista were about the same as the the complaints about XP when it first came out.

Still, I am interested in Windows 7. Probably won't be jumping up to get it any time soon, but still, it might be decent.

Don't know if I'll get used to the fact that the beta for the next Windows version is coming around when Vista barely got a chance to settle in.

Consider windows Vista the step to Windows 7. Windows 7 uses a lot less memory and is a lot less requiring than Windows Vista. It'll be a lot more decent that Vista, it's bound to be that way because Vista is somewhat an Alpha of Windows 7.

I wonder why they didn't just wait with Vista and instead keep developing it to Win7's standard. They certainly weren't running low on cash.

Same reason Epic tried to keep GoW PC a secret for a while to get more xBox sales. It's not about how much money you have, but how much money you think you can acquire

I wonder when they will announce GoW 2 for the PC. I'm ready to bet a month's salary that their statement that GoW 2 will never ever come to the PC is just a scam.

Beats me, some companies go for the quick buck.

yes indeed! most companies will do that! windows 7 betas out, but, servers are overloaded!

I dont' think they will this time.

Heh,I think everyone will say Windows 7 sucks. Why?

When XP was made = 0MFG DIZ HES SACCKY GOLARZ BOCK TO DA 98!!!!!

When Vista was made = 0MFG DIZ HES SACCKY GOLARZ BOCK TO DA XP!!!!!!

When Windows 7 will be made = 0MFG DIZ HES SACCKY GOLARZ BOCK TO DA VISTA!!!!!

It's typical.

EDIT: I have a duplicate post, so read the post down at the end of the first page!

Haha, well said. Is that sentence repeated in each line supposed to represent Scottish (I can imagine Willie saying that)?

haha, yeah that post is well said, man!

Im also downloading the 64 bit beta of Windows 7!
