TPB has the developers beta available now if you can't wait. I'm trying to download from MSDN now but it's insanely slow today.
I agree, not as good as Windows XP 64bit but still much better than vista. I heard anyone who bought Vista after May 2006 is going to get Windows 7 Free?
May be, I suspect Windows 7 is actually the same thing as the Beta Service Pack 2 for Vista that's available for developers. I mean, everyone knows that windows 7 is Vista right?
i installed windows 7 but i couldn't get the boot camp drivers installed.
did anyone have any luck with that?

Wow, The reason I went to a Mac was to ditch MS OS, Its buggy, its slow, and down right 10 years behind the times!
My friend installed IE 8 on his box and the webpages went nuts. Flashing, closing down all kinds of wierd stuff.
I just can't wait till developers will make all apps for Mac's.
and put MS in the history books.

wow.
All you need to do is cross-check the checksums.
ive heard nothing but good things from ppl who have tried windows 7. i tried vista back in the day when it came out and switched back to XP soon after. aside from the compatability issues, something just didnt feel right about it. hopefully 7 is the real deal and not another major foul-up from microsoft.
Looks like MS servers have been slammed and they removed it for now. Can't find anywhere else to pull it down from. I am curious to give it a test drive.
I don't really see how you can prove or justify the statement that they are 10 years behind the times. All it is is an empty statement.
IE8 is a beta that is to be expected. That's the purpose of betas. Did your friend report it to Microsoft? If not then he didn't do his part as a software beta tester.
Disclaimer: I am in no way supporting Microsoft, just making points.
Last I heard he was not getting paid to fix MS problems. Thats why they hire 200 people from India for! Cheap labor and a buggy OS
Trying to install the 64-bit beta, first generation Mac Pro... Seeing a weird issue.
When I boot from the CD to install, I get the following screen:
Keyboard input doesn't appear to work. Anyone else getting this or have any ideas?

Hi, i've got same issues, with same mac pro.. i've read something about solving this problem, but the procedure requires a working Windows installation http://www.jowie.com/blog/post/2008...t-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx
Is there any other way to fix the iso using OsX ?
thanx in advice
To expand on that, public betas are the best way to find and resolve problems. 200 people paid my Microsoft will simply not find as many problems as the much more numerous public. In addition, public betas expose the software much more because of the infinitely varied uses that such software has.
Not going to happen, as Apple doesn't want to take on the development issues associated with making their OS compatible on most any machine on the planet.I just can't wait till developers will make all apps for Mac's.
If they did, people would end up making the same complaints as they do with MS's OS's.
I'm not aware of a better, or faster solution to help ID issues than release it into the wild.
I'm sure what there for! You find, fix, and report system OS and hardware problems, On your time and dime. My time is better spent doing things that people will enjoy. I did get paid for this when I worked at the Las Colinas location for MS.
Make a list of things that can't be done on OSX. It will be a very short list.
Until MS does something with it's Kernel, Your beating a dead horse. In the end the results are the same. You release it with all the "known" issues for the public to worry about
That MS Beta tester will look good on your resume in the coming Mac World!
