Windows 7 beta starts today!

[OrangeJuicey]

I was just on the windows 7 site and its got an announcement that if you want to try the beta to come back on the afternoon of the 9th of January afternoon. That equates to some point this evening the beta should go live.

I've chatted to some people who have been using windows 7 pre beta version with the 30 day trial period. I've only heard good things about it, its faster for starters, and they didn't have to download any drivers to get the operating system up and running.

The beta download is here: (p.s i can't access this site any more it just loads forever but i was on it earlier)
