I’m Downloading Windows 7 Beta

I can’t stand reading reviews of Windows 7 all over the web without being able to fairly weigh in and produce my own conclusions. I am pretty biased to my MacBook Pro (he’s a rockstar) and OS X. I love Apple products and software and have one PC that is running a Microsoft operating system outside of my office job –and it has Vista! I’ve had my home PC for about 6 months and have only used it a handful of times. I don’t like Vista. I don’t like the way it looks, how seemingly slow it is (I have an AMD quad-core processor and 8GB of ram and it’s sluggish), and the multimedia capabilities.

BUT, I’m all about technology and I am super curious about Windows 7. As I’m sure everyone else has, I’ve read quite a bit of positive views on 7. Depending on how the download/installation/testing goes, I could possibly be a dual-OS user again –but only if Microsoft offers it as a free upgrade :)

  • » Should Microsoft give Windows 7 away for free?  - I think this is a fantastic proposal. Give it to the normal consumers for free. Microsoft makes a ridiculous amount of money off of the government and other mass-license purchasing companies. Charge them. 5 years down the road everyone is still happy and Microsoft will maintain their market share.
