Anyone else also using Windows 7 Beta. I just installed it today and I am impressed. Anybody want to express their opinion or problems, glitches feel free.

. so, nerdy, just not your kind ;-)As I said in an earlier thread on Windows 7, I used it a couple of months ago. My uncle is quite high on the MSFT company ladder, and had a copy of Windows 7 when it was given out to company employees as an alpha build. He installed it and I gave it a go last time I was at his house, around Christmas. I wasn't blown away. It felt kind of like an OSX ripoff, and was a bit sluggish. Maybe the latest build is a bit more polished.

I would download and install it, but I don't want to stop working on my AP Econ final project due tomorrow...
I'm perfectly content with my Vista SP1; Oops, brb, gotta finish installing today's slew of security updates.

You are King of the Nerds. Don't you linux guys have to write your own drivers for printers and such?

That's nothing new. I am Windows user and I hope Win7 kicks ass. I am not going to download the beta, but I hear generally positive things about it. But it is still beta...

It's not quite that hands-on
There's always a little bit of command line stuff but Ubuntu especially isn't at all difficult to use.

I liked it still needs a little work, although it is fully functional. I found that it runs much better on a core 2 duo and 64 bit machines.
Also on the 32 bit version it is backward compatible with vista in terms of drivers and software. It was a little buggy when it came to espn360 which I think has gotten really buggy even in XP.

Was going to try it on my laptop but never did, I got 4 different partitions and and 3 different OSes. Maybe next year. Well I could put it in my old desktop pIII 700 mhz, you think it can handle ubuntu I got about 100 GB free space on it. Well I looked and 700 mhz is the bare minimum they recommend. I'll try it soon.
