Yes, I have used Windows 7. First off, it s a lot faster than Vista. Secondly, it basically has the same graphics as vista but they somehow condensed everything to be faster. The other difference (which most people don t care about) is the 200MB partition that it creates on install. It s not huge but it seems to be the boot files since you can only boot from that partition (I triple-boot using Ubuntu, Windows 7, and Windows XP). One thing that 7 has is also IE8. I don t see a visual change but it seems to work. And as a note, the quot;startquot; menu has changed a little compared to Vista. It s more revamped but based on the Vista-style menu. And on the bottom of the screen where you usually see the programs that are on-screen or minimized you can hover over the icon and see a preview of the screen.
Hello Misses Mia Wallace- I work with the Windows Outreach Team and want to share with you some resources to take a look at that will give you an idea of what is new with Windows 7. This link will take you to the “What’s New” portion of the Windows 7 homepage. Take a look at the video demos and read up on new features like Jump Lists and HomeGroup: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows... Here is an article from Gizmodo about the new taskbar: http://i.gizmodo.com/5131933/giz-explain... I hope these give you a good idea of what is new with Windows 7 Beta. Thanks for your interest!

my husband is using Windows 7 Beta version. The one thing I can remember, that I like is...the wallpaper you can set it so that it can change different picture throughout the day/weekly or monthly.
IMHO there is not much difference. It does have a cute little fishie on the desktop by default. I am still playing with it but getting bored so I may try Ubantu next. OH, my Bluetooth (Dell) will not work in W7 nor does McAfee programs. Sure there are more.
