For those of you unsatisfied with Windows Vista (which many of us are), Microsoft is developing an answer – Windows 7. At it’s initial release, the beta was available to the first 2.5 million people, but that has since changed to allow downloads until January 24th, as shown on the Windows 7 Team Blog. The beta expires on August 1st, 2009, on which day users may be forced to downgrade back to Vista SP1 or upgrade to Windows 7 Beta 2, if available.
Personally, I won’t be downgrading to Vista if there is no other beta out – I’ll be downgrading to XP SP3.
