I'm not sure what got into me. I'm not usually interested in beta software for the sake of beta software. Maybe it's just the incredible amount of hype surrounding it, but I decided to install the beta of Windows 7 on my desktop system. (My laptop is my main computer...my desktop system is for testing, but it's usually some version of Linux that I'm playing with or maybe an application.) Anyway, I went ahead and installed Windows 7 on it. It's nothing special...3.40GHz P4 with 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. Cool eye candy, but that's expected on any modern O.S. What surprised me was how quickly pages load in I.E. 8. Admittedly, I just finished the installation, so there hasn't been time for any browser bloat to creep in, but still, it's noticeably faster. I'll add more comments as I run it for a while.
