Have You Downloaded Windows 7 Beta?

by Shanker Bakshi on January 29, 2009

It looks cool to me, but even I haven’t tried my hands on 7 heavens yet. Beta Download still available for download for next few days. If you are downloading it from India you can download 32-bit version in Hindi language.

Minimum recommended specs call for:

1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
1 GB of system memory
16 GB of available disk space
Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory

Some of the cool features that Windows Seven has:

The New Taskbar: Application icons can be “docked” in this taskbar. You can drag-and-drop application icons to this area for one-click access besides running apps that will appear on taskbar as well.

Jump Lists is a new feature that groups related tasks surrounding an application.

Your Windows Sidebar Gadgets can now be placed anywhere, not just on the sidebar

But eagerly waiting for that Touch Screen experience,

I’m using it at the moment on a daily basis Much better than Vista and even in its Beta, it’s fairly stable and fast!

Is this a new OS? I dont even have Windows Vista and now there is new OS, seems very hard to keep up witn all the updates.

In a way, it is a new OS. It’s more like Vista being ramped up. Think of it as Windows 98 vs Windows 95 (or Windows XP vs Windows ME)

Michael Henry February 20, 2009 at 4:54 am: I never had any problems with Vista. The worse operating system I’ve ever used was ME. Had they pushed that OS, Mac would hold way more than the 7% of the market.
