Has anyone tried out the beta version yet, if so what are your thoughts and experiences with M$ latest?

Here's the download link www.microsoft.com/

Some video tutorials for those who want to dual boot it next to your other OS.

and here's a program that allows you to open a whole OS in a window and your desktop and use it.

And last of, here's a video showing you how to install and use Windows 7 on Virtual PC.

Thanks to Kamon62 from MyWii for the info, he doesn't know I borrowed it yet

Yep all my spec info is in my profile. I do hope the motherboard drivers on Rat Rig work with W7.

they should work.
even if they dont work initially, most vista drivers are compatible with W7

I can send you a copy if you answer this one question: "how much wood can woodchuck chuk?"

Using the formula: (W + I) * C where W = the constant of wood, which is well known to be 61, as agreed in many scientific circles. I = the variable in this equation, and stands for the word "if" from the original problem. As there are three circumstances, with 0 equaling the chance that the woodchuck cannot chuck wood, 1 being the theory that the woodchuck can chuck wood but chooses not to, and 2 standing for the probability that the woodchuck can and will chuck wood, we clearly must choose 2 for use in this equation. C = the constant of Chuck Norris, whose presence in any problem involving the word chuck must there, is well known to equal 1.1 of any known being, therefore the final part of this calculation is 1.1. As is clear, this appears to give the answer of (61 + 2) * 1.1 = (63) * 1.1 = 69.3. However, Chuck Norris' awesome roundhouse kick declares that all decimal points cannot be used in formulas such as this, and so it must be rounded to the final solution of 69 units of wood.

haha

it really depends on the size of the wood and how fast he can chuck it

unit is a standard measuremeant of any quantity.
so a unit of liquid is a millilitre, a unit of flour is a millimetre and a unit of wood is a mitremetre

a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as he could if a woodchuck could chuck wood

How does the install process work never had to update an operating system before do you keep any settings? how about programs do they all need reinstalling?

If I install over vista will something happen to my files?
