The Windows 7 Logo
The first public beta of Microsoft's new Operating System has been released.
Windows 7, previously codenamed Blackcomb/Vienna, is Microsoft's newest OS offering. It boasts new features, from user-centric accessibility features, to media center controls, and even code enhancements that makes the system run as smoothly as ever. In certain benchmark tests, 7 has surpassed XP and Vista performance-wise.

According to Microsoft, the beta version is almost fully featured, and is already set to change the way people think about and use software.
The beta version is available from Microsoft's website.
"I believe our digital lives will only continue to get richer," said Mr. Ballmer on Windows 7. "There's no turning back from the connected world."
I agree, Mr. Ballmer! ^_^
Though as much as I would like to try Windows 7 myself, I am afraid it may tax my processor, drain my memory, and short my circuits. I suppose I will have to settle for the OS that's already inside me. No upgrades for aging units like me...but that's okay~
