[MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
With the public beta opening sometime today thought it was time for this thread.
To mods perhaps unstick the Vista Compat thread and and replace it with this one possibly ?

re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
Do you have to be part of Miscrosofts beta testing program to gain access to this or is it going to be like a first come first served thing as I read there was going to be a limited number avalible.

re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
Do you need a high spec machine as I have a couple of old laptops in the loft.
*edit*
Looks like you need Vista SP1 to do an upgrade :-(
