Should I download amp; install Windows 7 Beta? -

I m formatting my PC, should I install Windows 7 Beta rather than Windows XP? Will my applications (Office 07, Photoshop CS2 etc.) work? Or shouldn t I, because it s still beta? Thanks.

Its really up to you... Your programs will most likely not work due to the fact that its a new operating system, but you might want to check it out and see if its something you might want in the future. Remember, you can always wait until a more stable stage in the production of the operating system, which is probably better to do in my mind. But its your choice.

if you just want to test it out yes download windows 7 but if you want to use it in the long run the stick with xp and wait till the real version of 7 arrives

i personally don t trust beta products simply because they are only a test. but its really up to you. your applications should work fine, but then again, you never know because its a beta

No. Photoshop won t work, wait until they laugh it when it leaves the BETA stages. Lots of programs won t work and there will be lots if glitches.

install XP because the beta is for testing and not meant to be run as your main os and it will expire in august so you will be stuck with no os

You shouldn t. Windows 7 beta s free activation will expire in a few months and the system will lock up.
