Windows 7 first Beta due January 2009

[Guest daniel5000ce]

January 2009 now looks set to become the month when Windows testers will get their hands on the first-full pre-release build of Microsoft's next client operating system.

In particular, developers attending an MSDN road show on January 13 in Chicago, Illinois will get copies of the Windows 7 beta on DVD. This will be the first of eight such US road shows next year.

The clarification came as Microsoft apparently removed wording from one if its own sites that had promised delegates attending the events scheduled for next two weeks they'd get the Windows 7 beta. These attendees will now get their DVDs mailed to them.

Chicago delegates will "receive a Windows 7 Beta 1 DVD" - there's no mention of postal delivery.

they will leak the shizzat on the net for ppl like us to DOWNLOAD... yeeeeeeeeeee haWWW

he beta will be the first full release of Windows 7 code and give people a better idea of what they can expect from Windows Vista's successor. Microsoft released code at its Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in October, but this was an early build. The code didn't contain many of the features that senior vice president for Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live engineering group Steven Sinofsky demonstrated during his PDC keynote.

Developers we've spoken to during and since PDC have treated it accordingly. They've either reserved judgment on Windows 7 until they have a clearer picture of what's in the beta, as much of what they saw focused on the interface, or they've simply not installed the build. ®

PS: here are some nice pice of windows 7 for yall' to peep

Haven't you guys already tried out the Windows 7 prebeta build 6801? It's really good and is already faster than Vista but still isn't complete with all eyecandy etc so who knows but still I'm hoping for a good outcome. :win:

The first screen shot is obviously bogus... points for good use of photoshop though.

a: it is connected to a wireless connection and connected to the internet (real)

b: the date say Jan 1, 2010. if & is connected to the net it automatically updates date. (bogus) PS. Jan 1, 2010 is a Friday

c: the weather gadget. 7 is using the same gagets as Vista. The location and temp could be accurate (but not for the date listed for obvious reasons) None of the gagets I've seen looks like this (bogus)

d: the "search" bar is on the wrong side.

e: windows live will not be part of the initial build, it will be an add on (bogus)

f: the Windows Security shield isn't the shield no more its a blue and white lighthouse and it is not on the desktop (bogus)

g: if this is a "screen shot" why is the resolution so small and so fuzzy?

second screen shot is just a simple file explorer of 7 pre-beta nothing special

nuthut

[KotaXor]

Can't wait to get my hand on the beta !!! :dance:

[Anees77]

what are the requirements for the windows 7 ?

[shought]

This means that Windows 7, planned for the end of 2009 according to Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer, will be designed to run on hardware from 2007. This means that a computer with a 1-GHz 32-, or 64-bit (x64) processor, 1 GB of system memory, at least a DirectX 10 graphics card, if not even DirectX 9, with over 128MB of graphics memory, and a 40 GB hard drive will be more than enough to power Windows 7.

The above however is not 'certain'.

This is:

One of our design goals for Windows 7 is that it will run on the recommended hardware we specified for Windows Vista and that the applications and devices that work with Windows Vista will be compatible with Windows 7.

thx for screenshots the design of windows7 is looking great now i'll hope the performance isn't failing with this design

Its faster because its not complete :dance2:

Vista was a transition/money maker/time buying (tho it didnt sell as planned) for windows 7 just like millenium was for XP.
