Re: Windows 7- marked for beta release Friday...
Well, the article does seem to indicate that it will be a general release. I don't think MS has done it that way before, though. In the past they have you sign up for Beta releases, and then you get selected on a lottery basis, right? Anyway, they are not paying me enough to do their testing...know what I mean?

Got enough troubles with Vista. I 'm not going for it till I know it's stable and working (if ever).

Well supposedly it's going to follow the same overall framework of Vista (red flag), but it's supposed to fix some of the areas where complaints were most prevalent. If this is the case I don't know why it wasn't released as a service pack instead of a whole new OS, aside from the $$$ factor.

Re: Windows 7- marked for beta release Friday...
I've been using the 7000 build for a little while and I love it.
Then again, I loved Vista, most likely because I was one of the people that actually used it rather than flamming it on the internet because some other windows hating people said it was bad. Sure it had issues, but XP had more, and look at XP now... Enough of that though, I'd rather not start an argument. THe Beta should be a great way for them to hopefully approach this release with a more PR friendly launch... |

I thought all Windows version released were Beta version.
