The official Windows 7 Beta has started. \u00a0Friday was a bit frustrating as the response overwhelmed Microsoft, but I was able to get a Windows 7 Beta key, as well as download the real ISO. \u00a0Upon installing it, I had some mixed reactions to the new task bar. \u00a0Maybe it will grow on me. \u00a0I’m also sad to see that the icons for shut down, disconnect (when in terminal services) are once again changed, now to text. \u00a0I rather like the Vista buttons. \u00a0My only request would be the ability to turn the shutdown button into a “log off” button (for servers, anyway).<\/p>\n
