This article makes it sound like we should be surprised that things are leaked on the net hours after being "unveiled"

it's completely normal, whether it's a video game, music album, tv show or operating system

I would not mind testing out 7 to see what it has to offer

I will wait until the public beta comes out if possible for me to get a shot at it!
