I'm running the official Beta, Build 7000 on my laptop...
I like Windows 7. It's a lot like Windows Vista only a little faster. The task bar is a huge improvement in my opinion.

How much RAM is required to run "7", and what are it's real world (average user) advantages over XP?
I'm running XP Home with 2 Gigs RAM and an AMD 64XP x2 4200. I doubt Windows 7 users are running apps appreciably faster, just spending some more money.
If I'm wrong, I'd like to hear about it.

They have tightened up the code a ton over Vista. It is much faster and much cleaner. Right now I am running it on a Virtual Machine with a single 2 GHz processor and 768 RAM and it runs like a champ. As fast as XP if not faster at running most processes. I use all sorts of OS's for testing, etc. so I am very familir all of the garbage put out by microsoft so this is a welcome improvement.

I downloaded and ran it today. I really don't see any difference, yet. It runs fine. But then, so did my Vista.
...stir it up and pass it around.

Update: My Beta crashed today. I had to get my recovery disc with the original factory settings, to get my puter working again. When I was Running the Beta yesterday, I noticed that the memory card reader on my laptop wasn't working. Today MS sent me a driver update that was suppose to resolve that problem. So after I got done downloading it, I had to restart my computer for it to be done. But I wasn't able to log back into windows, after the shutdown.
I spent most of the afternoon getting it back to the way it was on Vista. My only loss was four torrents that I was downloading. Luckily I had everything else on my computer backed up.
...stir it up and pass it around.

I think I'm done with the Beta. When the real Windows 7 comes out, I'll get it.
