I am running Windows 7 Beta 1 on my 2004 HP dv4000 w/ a 1.4ghz celeron, 1.25gb ram, and 40 gb hard drive!!!!!

You could never dream about running Vista on this notebook, but Windows 7 works good.

So far pleased after about a full day of running it!]]>Dec 29th 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Can't mess with my desktop at the moment.]]>Dec 30th 2008 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/

The problem never was getting feedback, it's implementing the changes people suggest. They basically discard most of the feedback, unless one particular issue gets enough media attention to potentially hurt sales.]]>Dec 29th 2008 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/
Anyhoos, this not only helps MS with finding bugs, but it also hurts them. From an article I read sometime ago, you'll have bunch of people who will send feedback that is totally irrelevant, user error, or ignorant. They have to go through each feedback (as they're trying to work out any bugs) so it ends up killing alot of productivity. So when JoeSchmoe gets his hands on it and not a possible proper beta tester (which is anyone who has a bit of experience with a computer), you'll have a negative effect from a leaked beta.]]>Dec 29th 2008 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/
I find it highly unlikely "JoeSchmo" is going to spend the time and effort to find a feedback form, besides the fact that it would in very simple to exclude non-official beta testers by making them log-in to provide feedback.]]>Dec 29th 2008 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/
The Send Feedback is integrated in the TitleBar of nearly every window in Build 7000. There's a simple registry fix that'll disable it.

And why would MS make official beta members jump through a hurdle to submit feedback? The point is to make the experience easy and beneficial. ]]>Dec 29th 2008 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/

I'm waiting for the official beta just cuz I try to follow the rules when it comes to major things like that.

Microsoft would have been better off improving XP on a yearly basis instead of releasing a new OS every 5 years. I'm getting really tired of it.]]>Dec 30th 2008 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/
Even after disabling or uninstalling ALL the "crap" that comes preinstalled on these machines it still runs slowly.

so far every machine I have wiped and installed XP on has works many many times better. Faster cleaner less hiccups.

I think its just bloated. sure I guess if you but them both on quad core processors it would be fine but we all can not afford that.

I don't fundamentally dislike vista. I just hate how slow it is. I also hate the build in DRM. for that reason alone I will not use it.]]>Dec 30th 2008 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Its not the same as using a retail copy on a bittorrent site and then MS forces you to buy/upgrade to a valid license. ]]>Dec 29th 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Mar 6th 2009 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Dec 29th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/29/windows-7-beta-iso-leaked-to-internet-world/Beta--->RC--->RTM.
