Okay, I’ve just installed a pre-beta build of W7 on my old home laptop (a Tosh M5 with 2GB memory). The upgrade went very smoothly though it did take a little while. First impressions after using for a few hourWindows 7 s only:
Caveat: I like Vista. Since SP1 I have been running Vista on three machines with no problems. I like the UI, I’ve become a convert to gadgets, I love customising my desktop experience, I couldn’t go back to XP again, ever.
- This feels like a completed OS, it doesn’t say beta to me it says almost done
- The UI is noticeably more responsive, in fact the whole machine feels more snappy, lighter somehow
- The new UI features (taskbar, preview windows, jumplists etc.) are really useful and unobtrusive. It will take a little while to get used to the slightly revised task switching but I think it will be more intuitive long term.
- I like the new taskbar which combines the old Quick Launch with running apps. I wish I had more control over icon size – still not big enough on my 1400 x 1050 screen to my eye
- I love the fact that at long last I can change the order of running tasks on the task bar!
- I’m one of the small number of people who uses the auto-hide feature of the taskbar (in Vista I used a two story taskbar with Quick Launch along the top and running apps below) to provide more real estate. I’m finding this doesn’t look so great with Win7 and have reverted to fixed single story.
- Apart from an issue where my default window colour changes from transparent to black if I click on a desktop icon (maybe my video card?) I haven’t encountered any problems
This is first impressions only – will update more as I get to know this baby.
Latest build of Windows 7 to be released to testers
Dec 17th
Today, Microsoft released its first wave of invitations for the Windows 7 beta test. The invitations were only sent to a small, select group of ‘technical beta’ testers.
In the email sent to invited testers, Microsoft states that the beta is not available for download right away. A reliable Russian website (demo:demo) has claimed that the beta Microsoft will upload is build 7000.0.081212-1400, built December 12th. They also claim the build will be made available to testers within the next 48 hours.
In the email, Microsoft also mentioned their website where it has placed a wealth of information about Windows 7 and mentions the beta. This will likely be updated in the future. It should also be noted that Windows Server 2008 R2, included in this beta test, has a portal too. According to Microsoft’s roadmap, this server-orientated Windows will have a longer release, scheduled to be released in 2010.
