Windows Se7en: Introduction

Microsoft has strictly following its schedule, releasing its public beta early this January.

For those who are adventurous as me, you got it from here.

I decided to take it a try on a virtualize platform to prevent something bad might happen.




Here's what I have used to run Windows 7:
  • Virtual PC 2007 SP1
  • 30GB of harddisk
  • 1GB of RAM



The Typical Welcome Screen

 
 
  
 
 
  
  
 
 
 

Timeline:

18:15 Start Installation
18:17 Extracting files

approx 15-16 minutes of extracting files

18:35 Completing Installation
18:37 Restart
18:38 Setup is preparing your computer for first use
18:39 Setup Screen
*note: I told some time on keying the serial number and capturing the screens
18:49 Desktop

The entire installation should took approximately 30 minutes.

-End.

So, do you recommend Windows 7 beta?

Not for normal usage, it is best installed in a virtualize platform or in other computer that is not handling your main stuff. As it is a BETA, it tempt to be buggy. =P
