Windows 7 released to public

Post by Digitalocksmith on Sat 10 Jan - 4:07

Microsoft has released Windows7 Ultimate beta 1 (build 7077) to the public in both 32 and 64 bit.......Go get em crew!

You can access the Microsoft database from this link if you like or go direct.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx



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 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!

Will it still work if my PC has 64MB graphics card?

Because I have no other PC to test on

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.
