    That's a fair statement. If you consider that the bulk of development and troubleshooting was or Win7 was Vista, I'd say Microsoft has indeed taken their time. It seems logical to me that the last several months Microsoft has had the opportunity to focus on quality, efficiency, and usability. No, I have not run 7 myself - I'm basing my assessment on the the Win7 experiences from users and professionals posted all over the Net.

    So if you were a salesman and I was (am) happy with XP, what does 7 do for me that XP doesn't?

    Hmmmm, now there's a thought.

    Edit, Oh well.
    We're sorry, Windows 7 Beta downloads are no longer available. If you've got a copy of the the Beta and need a key, here's where to look.

    It shouldn't be hard to find a download of the beta iso somewhere - go ahead and grab a key. I'd guess a quick google search will find you what you want.

    That's just speculation. THG doesn't know anything more than anyone else. It's a pretty firm belief, but still speculation.
