When I installed Windows 7 it asked me if I wanted to upgrade the windows I already have but I didnt click on from there I just did a fresh install. Also I didnt need to install ANY drivers at all, Windows 7 seemed to have installed all my drivers.

Is the public beta release exactly the same build as this one.
I just didn't want to download again if they are the same?

Apparently they kept this thing with drivers from Vista, because most of my drivers were found and installed (there were some I had to install tho).

Yes, probably will be usable up until a few builds before the RTM fork.

I tried out the first Beta1 32bit leak the day it surfaced and I like win7 alot, it's just way too early to start it using as a primary OS. Maybe with Beta2, or RC1 I'll start using win7 normally.

Which showstopping bugs are you getting? I'm running Win7 24/7 here and have found no major issues. It's probably the most stable and snappy Windows beta1 I've ever used.

W7 just messed up one of my harddrives
It created a ton of references to nonexistent files, in the USN table, while deleting references to other files making them inaccessible.
Took me 9 hours to get it all working again and W7 removed.

That's why I'll wait until it gets out properly. And then probably it would be available on MSDN-AA license so I'll get it for free as Vista

There is not going to be Beta 2. After this Beta it's RC and RTM we go. |

I'm not gonna argue semantics here, what I wanted to say is Win7 isn't ready to be used as primary OS, that's all.

I disagree. I've used Win7 since late summer, and Beta 1 is as stable as any beta I've used. I haven't seen a BSOD in months or booted into Vista since November. I suppose technically Win7 beta 1 is just that, a beta, and it's expected to have some bugs, but I'm yet to find any showstoppers.
