Although at the time i posted this their database server seemed to be down for tech issues......Looks like every man and his dog is after it! Shouldn't be long before its back up.

Dont blame em, its an awesome operating system and this beta build is very stable as I've been testing it and Im posting this from my install...comes highly recommended by me!

I have been using it too and it's much faster, better and stable!

I have found the same, IE8 and other embedded software seems to really work better under 7000........I have 64 bit running at the moment and it goes hard......uses less resources than XP which was a real shock to me!

Looks as though old Bill has finally learned a lesson as this OS looks to be a winner even before final release!

I bet Apple and Linux must be chomping at the bit now!

I don't think it will run smoothly with aero as you need at least 128.

What is the difference between trial and full version?

The trial lasts for 1 month before it expires, the registered version lasts for several months that Microsoft sets.

Ouch... I already downloaded 48% of it in softpedia..
BTW, what do you mean registered? When I register my email account to download it, and they give a product key to me??

I meant registered as 'windows is activated'

When you sign in and enter that link you will receive a e-mail with the key inside.

Thanks, I'm excited to use it. Hehehe

Could you run Windows 7 in a Virtual Computer thing that you told me about.

Yes you can.
