Windows 7

Does anyone know anything about Windows 7? I myself looked it up on the MS web site and didn't find any useful information regarding what new features it will have or why I should upgrade from the Vista I currently have on my PC (which for the record I don't really have a problem with other than a few annoyances). It turns out I'm too lazy to do any research beyond that.

Anyway, the reason I ask is because I recently received an email from Costco informing me that if I pre-order Windows 7 by July 11th, I can get it for $50 off the suggested retail price. Will this be a better OS, or is it simply some fixes that they could have done through a service release and they are simply try to appease all of the Vista haters and raise a little capital at the same time? If, as I said, I don't have any real problems with Vista, is there any real reason for me to upgrade?

Scott,

For more information on Windows 7, Microsoft does have a site with whitepapers, tutorials, walkthroughs and screen casts on all the “under the hood” features in Win 7. Check out the Springboard site for Windows 7 on TechNet here http://tinyurl.com/832nco

Also, you can currently download an evaluation copy of Windows 7 that is valid for nearly a year. If you do plan to download Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate) be sure to do so before August 15th as it will no longer be available after that date. To download Win 7 RC directly, please go here: http://tinyurl.com/cwl3fs
