doesnt seem to be bad, i know its only a preview but it does look good indeed.

i think it will be my next operating system (XP still works very good for me tho)

That's 95% like vista. I'm sticking with Vista until something more interesting comes out.

Don't we have like five threads floating around already like this?

I always like the high tech design of an OS, and I will love Windows 7 when it comes out and will buy it too, same goes with Vista when it came out...

Hopefully its not a "fail boat" what Vista has experienced when it first came out

At least we wont have to wait another two years for creative to release drivers for it,as its quite like vista.

There are a couple, but they are more discussion on the earlier releases by people using the OS. This is the first thread on the Beta that was just released that I've seen.

anyone on the forums can grab a beta copy from Microsoft and try it out?

Windows 7 Beta preview!

How do you think Windows 7 will do?

Seems to be amazing! My next OS!

Not bad, still not that great

From what i see, i think i will keep my actual OS

It will be Epic Fail...

I honestly dunno
