Months before its expected release, Windows 7 Beta 1 has been leaked onto bit-torrent, and of course, the torrent files are already circulating around the net. From what we’ve learned about the beta, it’s a solid build worthy of being a “true” successor to Vista. Some call it Vista 2.0 while others claim “this is what Windows Vista should have been”. If you haven’t snagged yourself a copy before the New Year, below you’ll find a few “helpful” links on how to acquire it (Not an endorsement and Download At Your OWN Risk), screen-shots of the new OS as well as an in-depth review from the folks over at zdnet.com.
From blogs.zdnet.com
“Installing Windows 7 beta 1 is faster and simpler than installing Windows Vista or Windows XP on a system.”
“Oddly enough, the first thing that you’re likely to notice about Windows 7 is also the bit that I like the least. The new revamped taskbar is visually very interesting (and certainly a lot easier to use at higher screen resolutions that the Vista or XP taskbar), but it tries to do too much and as such comes across as kludgey and counter-intuitive.”
“Aero Snap is a simple little feature that I find myself using all the time. This is a gestures driven method of organizing Windows. Drag a window to the top of the screen and the app is maximized. Drag it to the side and you get it to tile to one half of the screen.”
“Not only does Windows 7 come with several ready-made themes that include specific background images, colors, sounds and screensavers, there are also themes that make use of a desktop slideshow to continually change the desktop image.”
“If you do run into problems with Windows 7 then you get access to the new Troubleshooter that attempts to diagnose and fix problems. It’s not perfect, but it’s a darn sight better than any troubleshooter previously shipped with Windows.”
