How is software compatability? Everything that works for vista should work for win7?

I only used vista for a few weeks and honestly had very little luck (my video card wouldn't even work).

Comparing it to XP though, all software (minus punkbuster for battlefield2) has worked very well. Little fussy with my G15 keyboard software, but I was able to correct that.

There are some youtube videos with 3.1 on today's systems. Pretty funny. Boot time is like 5 seconds ROFL

I just put Windows 7 on my 1.6 Ghz laptop with 1gb ram Gateway.. It is faster than XP. The only problem I had was finding drivers for the wireless card I had but it installed without issues. The networking seems simpler than XP and vista!

Go 7!

For anyone who needs a direct link, here they are.

[b]Windows 7 Public Beta x86 (32 bit)[/b]
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3/3/633118BD-6C3D-45A4-B985-F0FDFFE1B021/EN/7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_EN_DVD.iso

[b]Windows 7 Public Beta x64 (64 bit)[/b]
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/3/3/633118BD-6C3D-45A4-B985-F0FDFFE1B021/EN/7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULXFRE_EN_DVD.ISO

It's in ISO format, so you use a program that supports ISO burning such as IMG Burn or Nero, burn on low setting like 2.4 - 4x to ensure a good burn.

*EDIT: Go the following link providing by Rusty...WCA: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx

And obtain a key to install. You will receive this key before actually being able (or trying to) download Windows 7.
