Gee...a Microsoft product which is getting a mostly favorable initial impression.
Looks outside to see if the sky is still in place.

I tried Firefox with the IE plugin and IE itself and neither would work (although I got a ton of keys:rotfl. Finally found direct links to the iso files and am downloading the 64 bit now.
See here for the direct links. Anyone know of some good (ie FREE) drive imaging sofware? I'm contemplating setting up a second partition on my system drive for the beta, but I'd like to image the drive before I shrink the partition that my XP install is in now. |

I downloaded both versions of Windows 7 Beta and I gotta say they did a good job of compressing the files as I did a comparison on just the windows folder in each version, 64 bit download is 3.3gb - windows folder expands out to 11gb, 32 bit download is 2.43gb - windows folder expands out to 7.3gb.
But I gotta say both versions run quicker than XP Pro which I was using and both versions installed under 25mins and thats going for a full install. Likeing this Beta very much at the moment having an issue with one or two things but I think its just bugs that need ironing out like most new OS's. my 2 cents Steve
