  A test PC for the Windows 7 Beta that meets these minimum hardware recommendations (specific to the Beta and subject to change in the final version of Windows 7). Please do not use a PC you rely on for your work or daily use:
  - 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
  - 1 GB of system memory
  - 16 GB of available disk space
  - Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (in order to enable Aero theme)
  - DVD-R/W Drive
  - Internet access (to download the Beta and get updates)

  There is no official release for the final yet. The RC is supposed to come out in April which will be a newer build of Windows 7 and improved fixes. In my opinion, the final will be out sometime in Fall – Christmas this year.

  Check out the links in the sources if you plan on installing Windows 7. One of the main things to remember is this:

  Do download the Release Notes. Release Notes provide important information that you should know before installing and using Windows 7. You should familiarize yourself with all of the known issues in this document prior to installing the software. For example, the Release Notes describe a bug in which MP3 files may become corrupted and provide information on mitigating risk.

  This is how i would install Windows 7:
  - Backup important files
  - Download the Windows 7 ISO
  - Burn the ISO to a DVD
  - Install Windows 7
  - Install all the latest updates, make sure that in the list of updates, that the KB961367 update is in the list. If it is, that’s good, if not, you can get the information and the download here:
  - Restart if necessary
  - Transfer all your files onto your computer
  - Enjoy!

  Windows 7 is a much faster and more efficient OS than Windows Vista on every level from user interface to memory consumption.

  Under the hood Windows 7 is just Vista its whats they did with it that’s the technological evolution I would assume it has the same specs as Vista does if you can run Vista you most probably can run Windows 7.

  Me personally I plan on waiting until its release beta software is not worth running especially if its an Operating system!!
