Microsoft's Ballmer: Windows 7 is nearly final

Quote:
Beta test version will be available Friday for regular PC users to download
LAS VEGAS - Microsoft Corp.'s next version of the Windows operating system is almost ready for prime time.

That's one message Chief Executive Steve Ballmer delivered on the eve of the official opening of the International Consumer Electronics Show.

The world's largest software maker also disclosed deals to make its Live Search programs the default search engines on more personal computers and mobile phones. And it announced a new version of its Ford Sync in-car technology that folds in the voice-operated directory service TellMe, which Microsoft bought in 2007.

....
So, anyone thinking of trying it? Is it going to suck like most first releases? And on a more frivilous note, is it just me or does the old guy in the picture look just a little possessed?
