Microsoft has released the beta for Windows 7 and it has everyone talking. While I have loved Vista and found few flaws, it has certainly gotten its share of bad press. Windows 7 will feature a few dramatic changes including the layout and taskbar. I have previewed these changes and am very excited for the latest OS release, which is due in summer of 2009. You can read about taskbar changes over at Gizmodo, and how it is superior to the OSX dock. If you are eager to try out the beta, you can still download it here. Make sure to read all warnings and understand what you are doing before attempting to install any operating system. Let me know what you think in the comments, and happy computing!
