windows 7 beta (build 7000)

beta version released and got it in a pc to test it out...quite amazing although it's still in the beta stage. it's nicer and quicker compared to vista, quite some improvements made as well. i'm sure most of the ppl will be looking forward to the up and coming windows 7...

btw, how many of u still using windows xp? so better start off by using windows vista and get used to it before the day you need to adapt to a whole new environment comes :)
