Is it a good idea to link to an illegally leaked operating system?

I think not. :nuts:

The public beta should come out later in January.

The best way to get the test of Windows 7 would be to look around TechNet for now. It means you'll need to pay some money to get it though. You can wait until the public beta comes out sometime soon to get it.

Otherwise, Windows 7 is basically Vista under the hood but with many tweaks and bug fixes, and of course a bit of re-theming and software changes.

Is that an illegally leaked operating system? It seems to me that that is the beta version that microsft announced. Maybe not?

He's correct, I watched CES 2009 with Ballmer introducing Windows 7. The beta is already available to certain MSDN/Connect users, and will be available to the public tomorrow

Wow... It looks nothing like normal Windows...

[gsgrego]

now if they could only improve ie for once..


question is... will drivers be compatible? or are we going to run into the same thing as vista where no company could make drivers properly for vista.

wow.. nothing in windows 7 seems ... that big of changes... if this is all the features.. i wouldnt buy it.

it just seems... dumb,bed down yet again... good for people who put pictures or just email ect, but too simple for ore advanced users.

I don't want to bad-mouth windows in any way, but I have to agree...
