OT: Redmond

[Bob Elzer]

True Win7 + Vista II
I downloaded it too, by the way, there are only 5 different beta keys, if
anyone needs one.

Getting useful info out of it, is like pulling teeth. I'll keep my windows
XP for now.

My nick name for Windows 7 is  Seven of Nine.

Maybe version 9 will be worth getting  LOL

My coworker today was complaining that he made a 10GB partition on his
macbook pro to test out Windows7Beta, and apparently the 2.4G install disk
is very well compressed as when he was done he had like 30MB free :)

I'm actually running the beta on my gaming machine and it seems to work
okay, but not much different. It's basically Vista++
