I'm really curious what all the fuss over windows 7 is all about. I mean, it's just vista with a few changes, and from what I can tell those changes are pretty small. I always think it's funny seeing sites talk about how bad vista is and how much better 7 is, considering it's really nothing more than a point release/service pack with a new name. Apparently m$ actually DOES know how to play the marketing game. It'll be interesting to see how it's received by consumers and the press when it's finally released I guess. Me, I still don't have any problem running XP; works beautifully in VirtualBox ;).

I like to imagine it is because I am important or that its because I went to church with many Microsoft cube gnomes when I lived in Washington but none of these things are true simply because I am on a Microsoft Spam list I got an invitation and license to download and play with Windows 7 beta. So let me share the expierience and overview so far I like things with the word free even if it is only as in beer and only for a short time, Anyhow with fear and the smell of danger that acompanies all things that say Microsoft and Beta in the same typography I clicked the shiny banner answered a few questions and got a key + link. the minimum requirements say 1Gig ram and 128M video and blah blah something something okay whatever click.... Anyhow the download comes up says this could take several days depending on your provider and the download size is...... 2.44 GIG holy redhat batman I need to go buy a dvd to burn this down to, well so much for free. Anyhow it is chewing up some bandwith that can be better allocated but I am going to grab it if for nothing else just to see if http://xkcd.com/528/ is true...
