Windows 7 Beta is now available to the public
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/
I'm running it alongside Vista right now (posting from it at this moment actually). I'm not going to encourage anyone to try it since it is just a beta, but if you do decide to take it for a test, let me know what you think.
So far, I've been running it about 3 hours, took only 25 minutes to go from starting the computer to install from DVD to a fully working desktop (less any applications I would normally use). It runs lightening quick from what I have seen and has a fairly intuitive interface. I do like it, but I'll need to see what it turns into before the retail release before I decide if its worth the upgrade cost.
