Microsoft he wants to beat the page views record. Of course, it is about the website page microsoft.com on which the launch of the first version (Beta) of the future operating system, Windows 7, was officially announced. Moreover, Microsoft also announced that this version could be downloadata free from the site technet.microsoft.com (although a beta version of the the 7th has been around the internet in recent months, via stream), on the date of January 9, 2009 (ie today).

Want to try the Beta? Come back the afternoon of January 9. And remember—this is just a preview. There’s more to come.

However, there is a download limit, which allows only the former 2.5 million curious to get download code of the beta version, and to obtain the code, Microsoft made the situation a little more difficult, requesting first completing a registration form. The battle will be "life and death", considering that there are at least one in the whole world 300 million users of Windows operating systems. In addition to this, it seems that there are some "small" ones... let's call them Conditions (although it is very likely to be just rumours), ale Win7 Beta 1:

-The beta version will come as an upgrade of Windows Vista SP1. It is not possible to upgrade from a system that uses Windows XP. Therefore, if you do not use Windows Vista, it is possible to download the Win7 Beta version for nothing.

-This version has a expiration limit: 1 august 2009. From then on, you will probably have to go back to Windows Vista SP1, if Microsoft does not upgrade to a Beta version 2.

-It's a version BETA (!), its installation requires first a system backup your (and this is a certainty!)

But Windows 7 Beta can mean, for those who can support the upgrade, a prelude to what will be Windows 7 final. Microsoft announced that this operating system was developed based on feedbacks received from Windows users all over the world, and that this one would have some qualities hard to miss:

-needs fewer resources (versus Windows Vista); takes up less space on the hard disk

-and shorter response time of the operating system; a performance improvement ITS

-new options for o faster access to files; the possibility of preview for these

-more themes, screensavers and options for them, offered as a package with the operating system

- the possibility to limit, or even cancel, the wave of alerts and messages from Microsoft (causing more nerves than the error itself)

More features of Windows 7 you can find them on the official Microsoft website. Until then, it remains to be seen what this beta version will mean for users, and above all, if the rumors surrounding it are true or just... rumors.

And one more thing: if you are not going to be among the 2.5 million lucky ones, then it means that you will be part of the rest of ~297.5 million (tot norocosi) care vor downloada (daca vor dori) versiunea oficiala beta de pe unul din multele site-uri de torrent. ;)
