Product Description:

Windows 7 is the updated version of the Vista operating system from Microsoft. It was built around feedback from users and has been developed to work with touch screen controls, among other features.

However, because Microsoft isn't providing technical support for the Beta, we strongly recommend that only experienced computer users sign up. How experienced? At minimum, you should be comfortable backing up a computer, formatting a hard drive, burning an ISO file to DVD, and installing an operating system from scratch. You should also be comfortable troubleshooting problems on your own. If you've not used beta software before, please read the warning messages and make sure you know what you're getting into.

What's new in this version:

Version 7 Beta provides an improved taskbar and full-screen previews, jump lists, new ways to use Windows, and Internet explorer 8 Beta 2 is included.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Windows Vista
Windows XP
Windows 2000

Additional Requirements:

1GB RAM
16GB disk space
DirectX 9 graphics with 128MB memory (to enable the Aero theme)
