On friday (tomorrow) microsoft will release a trial of the new OS (Windows 7) to download for free! Try it out.

 

PS: this is a PRE-BETA version!! Be careful. And the OS will expire in 30 days from install

Warning.. most trial versions will timeout and stop working.. Don't use this for your primary machine/operating system.

It's not pre-beta, it is beta. It's supposed to stay active until August 1.

I'm planning on installing it on my Mini 9, and I might toss onto a 2nd PC I plan on building tomorrow.

 

So far the only things I've heard is that setting UAC to level 0 can cause some issues, and the first few seconds of an MP3 get deleted but can be avoided by changing some settings.

I'll wait until the the final version is released. Must say it's looking very promising.

i tried it out on my comp a couple of weeks ago (for free, just not free like that )

 

i really liked it, a giant leap from vista i must say. the day that comes out retail im getting it.. only reason im not using it right now is my sound drivers didnt work right and were forced into 2.1 mode.

 

the super bar and like aero peek are fuckin amazing.

Does it comes with DX10 support? or is it still "vista only"
