Hi, everybody

just to let everybody know that I'm running windows 7 Beta for test and all
that I can tell you is wow bug mania, internet Exployer 8 ouch your lucky to
launch that twice in one windows session that you have, as far as the
printers and devices is that whole lot of white screen, I'm very proud to say
that the release of windows vista even though that it has bad comments from
friends/customers and family, me in the other hand love it, that there has a
little twieks of how programs that have to be instailled but not too much of
a headache least it is more reliable not like this windows 7, so far I have
the "blue screen of death" just by plugging in my sd card thats sooo great
got to love that old xp techology with a snappy vista look all I can say in
this message is that don't be too proud of this windows, and try not to
instaill application drivers it don't like it!

So, Redmond is undercutting its own position on the market.
If you have no e-mail nor news-reader and instead you're
left with sticky browser as IE8 is, you better think twice
before you buy any PC... There is an open source or Leopard X
left...-;)

Vista Rookie is right "a browser should include an email client."
May be we should be more selective in future.

I've been looking for sometime to get into the 'insider' group of beta
testers, yet no luck so far. My question is, where do they get these beta
testers and what are the requirements.

So far, Windows 7 has been very stable and had good performance marks,
finally persuaded me to leave Windows XP and even more impressive, Ubuntu
8.10 and Linux Mint. However, I don't think I'm just ready to shell out the
(probably) 300$ for the Ultimate final version.

I'd really like to participate in a Windows 7 discussion board/newsgroup,
aside of the public ones riddled with spam and comments posted by '13 year
old fail whalers'.

Its in beta, thats what beta testing is all about. If Microsoft bring out
another o/s that is hated as much as Vista has been (well thats how it looks
to me) I think they have shot it ! Windows 7 has to build on the rock solid
platform of Windows XP.
