This is a Reply to: Reasons to skip Microsoft’s Windows 7 Beta download
· I know it seems silly to ask but… is there a specific time on Jan. 9? Here in Silicon Valley, our clocks will be among the last in the world to reach the midnight hour.
Reply for Q1) Dude, Your Question is right, but, it shows that you’re desperate to be one of those 2.5 million allowed public user. You know how many downloaded in torrent sites the pre-betas..? It’s more than 65,000 for more than few weeks/months.
· Windows 7 Beta will expire on Aug. 1, 2009. Huh? Expire? So everything just resorts back to the older crappy version of Windows?
Reply for Q2) What else you want from a Beta version. Hope this’s not the 1st time you’ve heard the word “Beta” in your life time…? Any Beta will expire. Aug. 1st is too much. Its 7 months for evaluating an OS beta s/w.
· Be prepared to lose data.
Reply for Q3) For mentioning all these info itself, you guys make such a noise. If they/bloggers don’t mention like this, you’ll come and sue them for losing your data for evaluating a Beta s/w.
· Then there’s the No. 2 item on Ed Bott’s “Five things Steve Ballmer won’t tell you about Windows 7” blog entry: Good luck finding drivers for all your old XP-only hardware.
Reply for Q4) XP came almost 8 yrs back. Definitely you may need luck to find a driver for your 1 decade old OS. This is the simple reason, Mac sell OS X in their hardware. Common dear, give me a break.
· Finally, even if you love Windows 7 and are willing to let it expire in August because the buzz is that it will be available again by the holiday season - think again.
Reply for Q5) Not available again, the release version of Windows 7 itself will be available by that time.
If you had a chance, go and see how Apple’s getting blamed for their iPhone Updates. After each Update, an existing feature of iPhone is being screwed up. So, better SOS. Instead of blogging about Windows 7, try to blog about the buggy iPhone Patches.
