Windows 7 Beta

This week I haven't had much video game time so I figured I'd switch it up a little. I did however get the chance to download the Windows 7 Beta from Microsoft and get using it a little. I have to say, I'm fairly impressed. Much of the operating system appears to be just like Vista, BUT the system runs much faster. After some quick benchmarking it's equivalent(faster in some areas) to XP on the same hardware. For a beta it has also run exceptionally well with very few bugs or clitches. Now, this is just a beta so I'm sure there aren't huge differences from the latest release of Vista but I'm definitely excited for a release candidate. It's sure looking like Vista was Microsoft's latest Windows 98 ME!

  2. Nah, all you need is an external hard drive to make sure you don't loose any of your data.
