Solve : Windows 7 Beta? |
|
Answer» Can you download the Beta for free to test it out? And where would that be at?yes you can...CHECK the torrents... yes you can...check the torrents... How do you like it? Is it better then the "flower child" vista?Quote yes you can...check the torrents...That would be illegal. Public beta copy should be released this month. According to this: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9125278&source=rss_news, it's gonna happen this week.According to this: http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2009/01/microsoft-relea.html, it's gonna happen this Friday.So how many here plans on downloading it when it's released? I know I will. I hope Microsoft got it right this TIME. They are just getting pounded by Mac ads making fun of Vista.Just make sure, you won't install it on your main computer, unless you use virtual partition. It's beta only.Quote from: Briguy on January 07, 2009, 08:41:11 PM Quote from: fgdn17 on January 07, 2009, 08:38:58 PMyes you can...check the torrents... well they have improved the BOOT up vastly...it comes up fast..shutdows fast compared to vista... it's basically "vista improved", I THINK they were embarassed by vista..and it was so late drivers were delayed....hey it's just another OS so it has good points/bad points like any OS....they do need(IMO) to work on their install though...ever since wnt 4 it is slow....mac installs in under 5 minutes on my x86 machine...MS is still around 10min or more...no need for that....wxp/vista/windows 7 all slow installs...I think the reason Installs have started taken longer is the increased hardware diversity. better to take a bit longer to install then to install an unbootable OS because a proper hardware scan wasn't performed and the wrong driver for the Primary IDE was installed, or something.Quote from: Broni on January 07, 2009, 09:29:12 PM Just make sure, you won't install it on your main computer, unless you use virtual partition. It's beta only. What are the system requirements for Windows 7?Quote from: BC_Programmer on January 08, 2009, 03:23:45 PM I think the reason Installs have started taken longer is the increased hardware diversity. better to take a bit longer to install then to install an unbootable OS because a proper hardware scan wasn't performed and the wrong driver for the Primary IDE was installed, or something. you may be right there cause apple has just a certain SET of hardware they deal with where MS tries to cover everything....even legacey stuff sometimes...Quote from: Briguy on January 08, 2009, 03:31:04 PM Quote from: Broni on January 07, 2009, 09:29:12 PMJust make sure, you won't install it on your main computer, unless you use virtual partition. It's beta only. see here: http://vista.blorge.com/2008/05/27/windows-7-to-have-same-hardware-requirements-as-vista/ So Steve Ballmer now says we can try Windows 7 Beta? No thanks, Steve. What about the Zphone, Steve? I would sure like a beta of the Zphone. But not a beta of Yet Another Windows Nada. Also known as YAWN. I recall, Steve, you made fun of the Apple iphone. Were you thinking of Windows 7 at the time? Here the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5oGaZIKYvo Quote they have improved the boot up vastlyYou didn't install too many programs yet, did you? |
