Default Windows 7 Beta

From what ive read this OS will be very fast with many improvements over Vista.

Quote:
This should bring joy to many tech / nerds around the world, Microsoft has just announced that Windows 7 beta will be released on a larger scale to its MSDN users in just a few days. This should come as a good Xmas present for investors and also computer enthusiasts . Windows 7 beta is expected to be a full “Beta” still not 100% stable but it will contain all features that have been spoken about over the last few months. Current versions of windows 7 floating around are handicapped versions at best and have a lot of features missing.
Anyway head over to Microsoft and sign up as a MSDN user for your chance to Beta Test Windows 7. Use this link to Sign up for the Microsoft MSDN program here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/default.aspx
No guarantees you will be selected but MS are looking for a broad range of people to test Windows 7. The more people who test the windows 7 beta the better as we really don’t want a repeat of Windows Vista. Good luck
Windows 7 display drivers already..
Quote:
This is great news, Microsoft has set out sample display drivers to all the main video card manafactures. This is basicly giving all the main players plenty of time to get this right, Hardware vendors have a good 9 months to fine tune Windows 7 graphics drivers.
As you would be aware Windows Vista when released had all kinds of driver / support issues and these problems continued on for quite a long time, even to this day some hardware is still causing headaches. This is a smart move by Microsoft and should build some confidence amongst MS operating systems users & fans.
We have been told that Microsoft will also work closer to other hardware vendors this time around to ensure all current hardware & upcoming hardware is windows 7 compatible. Windows 7 should really be a huge improvement over windows vista.
