How to get the Windows 7 Public Beta

MaximumPC writes:

"Ever since the Windows 7 public beta went live yesterday, Microsoft servers have been buckling under the demand. The much coveted ISO files and CD keys have had somewhat sporadic available, but as always can be had if you know where to look. Luckily for you, we've kicked over every stone to bring you everything you'll need to get started."

trying it now.. Window 7 runs smoother than Vista on my HP laptop.. it even able to find the Nvida Driver for my 7600, I didn't even have to go to HP website to download seperate driver for it. Window Update did it for me.

but beside the performance, visually Window 7 looks way similar to Vista. They really need to hire some animators to design some of those visual/moving icon. I love the concept video of Vista on youtube, where the Icon jumps around on login screen, and pictures shift around and stuff.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit28d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing28d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
