From what I've been hearing from testers you wouldn't have to worry
about upgrading hardwares at this time if you are already running Vista.
Windows 7 will be a little bit lighter on system resources.

From what I've seen with it, I would agree. Having a bit of trouble with
sleep function and wondered if there was a ng yet. minor stuff. Win 7 is
/ will be a piece of cake. I love it!

One unnamed tester was running one of the previous stages with less
then 512mb of memory and an old Pentium 4 2ghz cpu without difficulty.
When later working with 2gb of memory the performance value was
commented on favorably.

It shows that the refinement of the Vista kernel is starting to be
noticed. In a sense Windows 7 won't be giving you so much of that
"bloated feeling".

yes, it's faster. it's a bit like Vista on a diet. Still has sxs and
still chews up about 11gb, a few days after the install. Slight change to
the taskbar, etc, but users should have an easy time getting used to it.
As always, some will bitch. But I'll buy it when it comes available. I
waited for SP1 with Vista. I'll go with the initial release with Win7.

The 64bit beta version installed like lightning here once booting off
of the dvd burned. It certainly sees less clutter when unpacking setup
files onto the hard drive.

On the other hand downloading the 32bit version has been a major task
since you may get as far as 574mb and the download drops off due to the
heavy volume on the MS servers. It took a full day for the 64bit release
which saw a steady download and was simply timed out at 90% a few times.

My 32bit came as a genuine from torrent, with key, good to Aug 1, 09

I don't play with 64 bit because application software just isn't there yet
- would be lovely if it were! but a lot of the probs I see are specificaly
on 64bit systems...

I was unable to d/l from MS because I didn't know the "trick" - use IE, not
FF for the d/l. If I'm bored, I'll try that on tech net today... just
checked - nope, not working at the moment. I'll keep trying. They are
giving out keys like crazy, but I'm guessing it'a only a 30 day build.
don't know if it's rearmable. (lovely set ov very bad trojans under the
label of 7PP on the torrents - heehee - I use Avast, but KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
DOING!!! heehee

Good to hear about the 64 bit one - yeah I bet it would fly!!! We've got
all this great hardware under the hood, and very little to use it...

As to my own build, I succeeded in locking it up yesterday - could boot to
safe, but not to desktop. Probably after installing Sunbelt firewall. And
I hadn't made an Acronis image of it yet... Live and learn!!! I'll
rebuild it sometime this week.

Just tried the d/l again and it's going - it's honking - 2.3 mb/s
When you first try it under IE, it will ask you to install a download
manager from Akamai - do so, then try download again. If it just flashes
back, wait a few whatevers and click download again - until the save screen
comes up - point to a partition and directory and let it go!

The beta experience page appeared late there. When going for the 32bit
beta I kept getting timed out until the download manager appeared along
with the download link finally seen on the Windows 7 page at 'Welcome
to Windows 7' (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/)

Once you arrive there look for the 'Download the Windows 7 Beta'
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...-download.aspx)
"download the Windows 7 beta" link.

It certainly loads right up faster then Vista right from the start. But
besides being a beta remember you still will be installing a fresh copy
of Windows without anything else on. Once several programs can be loaded
on that will tell how well it performs.

I suspect that many rushed out for 6-8gb of memory are going to be
puzzled when they have a chance to run the next version.

my current tale of woe - heehee - last install, my IE stopped working.
That was before it started locking before getting to desktop. Just
installed again, going very slowly, and it gave me a message that it had to
chkdsk files on C (Win7), and deleted easily 1000 directory entries. I had
taken an acronis image before that, so I will restore that and have a
looksee. My suspicion is that one of the add-ons to FF hosed it, but it
may have been Acronis itself. ANYTHING that adds services should be
immediately suspect. Remember that NONE of this stuff has been okayed for
Win7. It's all a bunch of hee hee, and a lot of giggles if it even works
at all. But it IS FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As to memory, I have 2gb - when I tried it with 4 it only used 3 and it ran
slower (course that memory was clocked slower.....). I doubt it will need
more than 2gb tops, unless you're running 64bit, and serious CADCAM stuff.
Later!
