billyfromhill Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm building a new computer and I am thinking about using Windows 7 Beta as the OS. Has anyone used it? If you have used it what do you think of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luisinho Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've heard of it, but is it already released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripel7 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I love it, Works without any problems with EM4 (at least for me), And is a dozen times faster then Vista.Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyfromhill Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 So I can just skip Vista and go straight to 7? It'll save me $90 which I can put towards Windows 7 when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luisinho Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 So only the beta version is released at the moment? Where can I get it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyfromhill Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Here's the link. It's a 3.15 GB download so it's going to take a while. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7...a-download.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
