This is one of the latest milestones, M3 being screenshotted. Just quickly browsing it I think things look better. Theres a link at the top to a couple of videos.

The beta should be out in a month or two, so I'll keep some disk space free for that

Swish, looks like what Vista was meant to look like TBH.

The interface looks better and cleaner.

Looks ok... besides the ERROR NOT FOUND part!

I is installing build 6801 tonight (64-bit for the added system failure )

This has been torrented for a couple of days now

ooh is this windows 7 out already?

i wants

The Beta is out, but not the final version.

blah blah blah cant run the 64bit installer unless im already running a 64bit installer

i hate this too with my vista download.... ill need to erase a dvdrw then lol

however i have a 32bit version working if anyone wants some nice info and screenies
Edit: I am installing it and you get pictures tonight.

Just a couple of screenshots to tempt

Windows Performance Index (with ATI Drivers Installed)


Windows Task Manager (I was running WLM14, VLC, IE (watching YouTube) and Paint (saving the screenshots))

How high do the performance numbers go now? Can I expect 10 with my graphics?

Not sure what it goes up to, youll have to tell us

.... if Si's comp goes to 5.1.... I can predict quite happily my comp's score will be 1 XD

How resource hungry is this version of Windows currently?

I would imagine 7.9 (as it's Si's highest score and a number like 5.9) or 9.9.

Met, check Si's pic of taskmanager. It looks a little less resource hungry than Vista.

I know Vista was quite resource hungry, but having not used Vista I don't know the specifics, so it didn't mean much to me.

Si has 2GB RAM and a Dua Core 2.4GHz (?) Proc. from there you can compare the useage on the taskmanager with other stuff.

I ought to get a copy of it then
Sounds like it could be better than Vista in terms of power and speed

It's also a BETA and not really advised for a primary OS. Also, it won't be out proper for a while (next year earliest, I'm sure Si knows more).

It looks just like vista...

And ME looked just like 98 which looked just like 95. Changing the looks isn't a big thing,a nd it's actually one f the last things they do. The backend is the most important bit, and it sounds like they're doing a good job with that. As or the interace, if they keep Aero but fix all the inconsistencies, that would be good.

Aero ftw tbh, looks really sweet
Anybody got a rough date for release on WIndows 7?

Mid 2009, IIRC.
