    Was that.... um... (omg I'm mildly... flabbergasted)... Empathy towards someone/thing affiliated with Microsoft!


    /gasp!


    Holy crap... I never thought I would see the day.

    Been running 7 for two weeks or so, runs faster with Aero and all it's fancy UI running than Vista,on the same machine, in classic mode. I will almost certainly upgrade.

    Going to download the Windows 7 open beta tomorrow, via Mac partition. Looking forward to it.

    I need a bigger HDD. Then I could tri-boot Vista, 7 Beta, and Mac OS X!

    I've run this thing as an upgrade to XP on the Thinkpad Z61t. Everything ThinkVantage related works aside from Rescue & Recovery (but any Acronis product solve that). 7 rocks, period. I'd pay for this OS.

    I'm definitely going to install the official beta tomorrow because I want to be able to send feedback to help out Microsoft, but based on the leaked beta, Windows 7 is running great. I've had it for about a week now and it hasn't crashed once, despite leaving my computer on 24/7. It even boots up faster than XP ever did on my machine, and the interface fixes the gripes I had with Vista (namely, too many steps to do things I could do quicker in XP). The new Aero features are pretty neat as well. At this point, I'm very impressed.

    @kylenalepa: your statements completely agree with my experience so far. I am also quite impressed both with the streamlined UI, stability and speed...

    I've been running this on my macbook since the 29th and am really impressed. However, I cant get any audio! Anyone figured out audio driver issues on the MB?

    @Zach Buechler: I was wondering about the Apple driver disc. I sure hope that there's adequate drivers by the time the official drops.

    @Zach Buechler: I had to try several drivers before I got sound (Realtek HD audio device), as it turns out the standard Vista driver works but you have to disable the front panel connection detection, and do a little fiddlin with the settings otherwise.


    But I don't know what on-board sound the MBP uses...

    @dvdlgan: What is with the influx of "FIRST!" shouting mouth-breathers today? Go put your retainers back in and lurk moar.


    Secondly, the 7000 build is on a 30 day expiration as is said above in the other thread. There are clandestine ways around this, of course, but I'm certain MS will pull the plug on any roaming beta OS builds by launch.

    @shiftyeyedgoat: the 30 expiration on the leaked pre-beta 7000 build is easily circumvented. Dunno about the July auto-nuke on it tho, and the official open beta won't auto-nuke until August...

    When the beta expires, does it render Windows 7 useless?
