Got this earlier from the MSDN installed fine except for my Gigabit NIC. Had to download the driver from the manufacturers website. After that it's been great.

Nice and fast and very stable. I've been playing WoW for 90 mins with a video encoding in the background without any hiccups.

Loving the new look Messenger too.

MS could release this now and I'd be happy.

Can I use this with VMWare? Or is it better to partition?

Anyone here using it as their main OS?

I'm dual booting, if it wasn't for the fact that there's most likely going to be further betas and release candidates (which in the past have required a reinstall) then I'd probably make the switch to this as my main OS.

I've heard the word "public" thrown around, but from what I understand, there's still some kind of sign-up process.

If not, I'm just gonna cancel this torrent right now.

I heard that the public beta is going to be limited to the first 2.5 million people that download it. So there should be a good chance to get it. Might as well stick with the torrent tho as it's guaranteed.

Over the past few years, you've asked us to make some changes to Windows. We listened closely. Now it's time to share an early look at how we've used your feedback. Windows 7 is faster, more reliable, and makes it easier to do what you want. Both the everyday things and the killer "is that really possible?" things. Dig into this site to see what's coming. Want to try the Beta? Come back the afternoon of January 9. And remember—this is just a preview. There's more to come.
