Windows 7 Beta 1 Looks Good

"I've now had my hands on Windows 7 beta 1 build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400 (the build that is widely expected to be made available to beta testers by Microsoft early in January) and have had some time to compose my thoughts and feelings about this latest release."

Over on ZDNet there's a short review of the Windows 7 build that's expected to be widely available for public beta.  It sounds like Microsoft has a great product on their hands. I'm looking forward to the beta and have a machine I'm ready to install it on, when the time comes.  I'll just need to make sure and be careful when using Windows Media Player 12.
