Download Microsoft Windows 7 for Free

Starting sometime in the afternoon today (PST – where Remond is natch), the much anticipated Microsoft Windows 7 operating system will be available for free download on Microsoft’s Windows 7 website. This beta release will be available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions for the first 2.5 million people to download after which it is uncertain if Microsoft will extend the deadline so you better download Microsoft Windows 7 fast if you want to give it a try. If you haven’t checked out any Windows 7 demos yet, you are doing yourself a great disservice. Windows 7 looks to be way more promising than Windows Vista and has a host of innovative new features that you just have to watch in action to know what you’re missing out on in today’s operating systems. If you have Vista-capable hardware, then you can rest assured you have sufficient hardware to support Windows 7.
The free Windows 7 beta download is fully legit and will work until August 1, 2009 after which the license will expire. Since it would be a pain to have your OS shut down on you in the middle of summer, we recommend installing this on a spare machine. Better yet, simply create a Vista-compatible virtual machine with VirtualBox, which is totally free, and install Windows 7 on that so you can play around with it and delete it after it ceases to work. Or maybe give VMware a try (though it’s not free). Also remember that Windows 7 will ship with Internet Explorer 8 if you are interested because you *ugh* still use IE.

Looks like the typical Microsoft Junk. As usual, they are more interested in coming up new cool names for things than making something more functional. Good job Microsoft!
