Tom's Guide: Windows 7 Pre-Beta, Unveiled





Looking real nice. For those still complaining how it resembles Vista, it IS an improvised Vista, with lots of features and optimizations. x.1 versions of Windows are the best.

Consider it ran "flawlessly" on a system with spec lower than what you can run vista during the demo, I'd say it's definitely an improvement.

Until 7 is out, I'll find myself playing with Ubuntu and Beryl.

One thing, the multi-touch will be of no use if we don't have a touch screen right? I always fancy having 2 mouse and 2 cursor though.

dang i really got interested looking at those. i would scrap my vista for the complete win 7

I linked Tom's Guide already in the first post.

Mr. Sinofsky had Win7 running in a netbook. It shows how flexible is Win7 to able to run on netbooks to server clusters.

sorry forgot >.> i'll edit

it's look more like mac os now. haha facepalm.jpg
btw, i hope the ram usage is lesser

yea... looks like a vista clone...

and yup, what vinvin said... hope ram usage is lower...

HOHOHO. merry christmas.

Well, SLI and Crossfire ran on XP and Vista just fine without native support.

Sweet & Stylish.... Hey if it runs superbly I seriously would think about getting one. Sweet and stylish.

anyone finish downloading the ISOs yet?

Yeah, window 7 looks alike vista clone but guess what...i've jz found out that some people that likes window xp alot won't get along well wif window 7... The source that i've read said that window 7 is the window xp simple version or can i say shortcut version...in other words things or setup that with long steps in window xp had been cut short in window 7...

Considering how Win7 can run on netbooks, I might just like it. Finally, no useless junks to hamper my gaming performance!

I'd attribute the extra responsiveness and shorter setup/boot to better implementation of multi threading. But I doubt less geeky consumers would care about it. WinXP is here to stay, but gamers and geeks would undoubtedly migrate to Win7. The enhanced NT6 kernel would support new techs, provide better performance and componentization, something that Vista falters a bit. I'd rank Win7 next to WinXP and Win98SE.

i agree retro.. it's running on my desktop rig as smooth as how XP ran on it... (after reducing visuals)

thats a nice launch...another successfull version of Windows
