if youve been lucky/unlucky enough to grab and test a copy of the new windows 7 beta, what do you think of it? here s my review installation went ok (slow as usual) gui looks good but then it all goes wrong looks like vista with a polish, maybe have the same problems as vista i installed as usual, booted into system, then logged in, then logged inagain, and again, but couldnt get into the system. un installed, format (quick) and reinstalled, this time without seperate user accounts, i was root. booted, and got in. then looked around, nice gui, nice feel, then i tried using the browser, i.e as usual was at a snail pace, didnt connect. tried several times, no joy. ok, onto apps. the usual suspects are there. media player, messenger, and the likes. media player works fine, apart from anything other than windows codecs. messenger didnt like me, wouldnt connect, lots of dos cmds missing (as is the trend) but as far as a beta goes, not a bad effort. needs lots more works though. as far as compatability issues go, i didnt get a chance to test, as the system got the old bsod syndrome. so thats where i ended my test. although in the 4 hrs it did run, it was running fine. but after the bsod i couldnt get it to boot again, so i gave up. even tried a restore, but i dont think that was ready yet either. anyone else had a go of it? what did you think? you can get the beta here==gt; http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows...
Just downloaded it today. We ll see this weekend how it goes...
To be honest i have never came across anyone, who dislikes windows 7. Everyone that is testing it says it is great :)
this is only a beta version for guinea pigs, will stop working on august 1st 09.
its alot better than vista
