Those who are interested (and haven’t already got the 7000 build – xD) The first Windows 7 public beta will be available to download from Friday from Micro$oft’s. website.
The download size will be probably around 2,5-2,7 GB – its install size will be probably around 5,5 -6 GB+SWAP.
It is definitely faster than Vista – some say faster than XP – I just hope it won’t be the same crap as Vista….
Not sure what will be the build of the public beta though – hopefully not 7000

Last 2 weeksFree Windows 7 to Vista users?

I'm curious to hear the reviews. I never used Vista, but as thoroughly trashed as it was, it's hard to believe Windows 7 could be worse.

"(and haven’t already got the 7000 build – xD)" than you said "Not sure what will be the build of the public beta though – hopefully not 7000" so that's why I'm confused.

ok - build 7000 leaked out - and partially modified - also it has now discovered vulnerabilities (which are fixed - but who wants to update something on 0 day

) - so at least a 7001 or a small indication would be appreciated

Stomyr, I have a question. Maybe it's not directly related to the topic at hand, but what the heck. You're the resident Geek.

Okay, recently someone told me my Blog looked "Weird" in IE7. They never got back to me as to what exactly they meant by "Weird." Then on the flipside, in the past couple of days, I helped someone, an OC Newbie install a Banner and Background on her Blog. I created the Banner and Background on MS Word, just like I did mine. And I used my Blog's CSS Code. Well, to my surprise, I just heard from her a while ago that her Blog has even "more depth" in IE7 than even on Opera.

You know ... that 3D Effect.

I've never used IE7. What does your experience say regarding how YOUR Blog or anyone's Blog for that matter, looks on IE7 vs. Opera? Does IE7 display our Opera Blogs BETTER? The SAME? Or NOT quite as Good?

I just know Firefox displays my Blog the same as Opera.
AOL Sucks at displaying my Blog.

I think you better edit your comment, I wouldn't use the word geek.

Suntana # 10. January 2009, 00:53

Stomyr used that word, "Geek" himself in describing himself before. I remember he was having a problem with his Blog and I made some lower level suggestions and Stomyr said something like, "Yeah, I tried that already. Remember, I'm a Geek."

At least that's my recollection. If I recall incorrectly, then I just might be in trouble.

You see there are 2 "subtypes" of internet - 1 "standard" internet with working css, ECT. (Opera, Firefox, and some others) and 1 junkie : for IE.
IE can hardly handle any css the way it is supposed to be so IE users might be in trouble - that's why I disabled IE from every network I used to use

(Of course coz of Win$hit update I didn't want to wipe it out [In fact you cannot really wipe it out

] because you have to download all updates one by one - which is tiresome

)

Anyways I checked your blog via IE 7.0.5730.13 , FF 3.0.5 , Opera 3.6.3 build 10476 and I didn't see any problem - so its either with their connection (if they are using dial-up for example) or they are using an older IE (if they are using anything before XP they can't have IE 7 (unless they have Windows Server 2003 which I doubt - xD) - or spyware - or system malfunction.

It’s ok if you call me geek

Tell your friends to grow up and use either Opera or FF

Thanks for the Info on the Internets, Stomyr.
Oh, my friends weren't knocking my Blog or Opera. They were just making observations from their perspective. The friend that said my Blog looked "weird" on IE7 IS a loyal Opera User. But, he does have Dial Up, so perhaps that might have had something to do with my Blog displaying in some weird manner on IE7. My OC Newbie friend barely got to install and experience Opera last month, I guess around Christmas time or thereabouts. She didn't say she didn't like how the Opera Blogs looked on Opera. She was just simply pleasantly surprised that on IE7, they looked even better. At least it's good that she can enjoy the Blogs on both Opera and IE7. Unlike me whereby I can only enjoy the Blogs on Opera because AOL doesn't do them justice.
